Ju-188 releasing a V-1 in flight
Hi Gang,

Browsing on modelforum.cz, I just chanced on this incredible pic showing a Ju-188 releasing a V1 buzz bomb. I've so far only seen He-111 H releasing those Fi 103's...

Source is CriticalPast.com

Any details pertaining to those operations?
Thanks in advance
Marc

Purely a trial programme as far as I know, looking for a successor or alternative to the He 111 in this role.

Hi guys

Do we believe the photos are genuine?

I have my doubts

Cheers

The possibility that combat launches occurred cannot be ruled out.

EdNorth,

Many thanks for your reminder! I totally overlooked your thread then... Sorry! Good to know however that all images shown are genuine, as they show well on the movie. 5 September was a fine day...

Cheers
Marc

Thanks Remi

Having now seen the film evidence I no longer have doubts!

However, my previous doubt was not due to stupidity!

Cheers
