Thanks .. I'm off to google it.

Jerry

P.S.
seems it was a recce, does this mean it's only occupant was the pilot ? it's unclear in the web pages.

Jerry,

Not just a recce. SKG 210 definitely had at least one. Still would be a crew of two.

Re: rear facing internal fuselage guns 110

Thanks for posting those, Modeldad. I was just curious where pictures 2, 3 and 5 came from. If you have it, could you please give us some details about the publication?

Thanks and Happy Holidays,
Leon Venter

Re: rear facing internal fuselage guns 110

First page with two images looks to me an old Flugzeug Archive. Dual text in German and English language, English one being smaller, very typical for them.

The shot down plane no doubt being from an ebay auction. The other 3 photos my guess they comes from a technical manual for the weapon installation. Sometimes their images are published in magazines, books or even on the internet.
