It looks like a Ju-88. Notice the short nacelle and the length of the engines.

Thanks Kaki3152. It just seemed out of proportion with the buildings on the airfield.

Right in the middle of the field, in plain site.
I'll go with airfield decoy (Flak trap) as in...... The 4th photo at the bottom of this site. http://rareaircraf1.greyfalcon.us/Lu...20Aircraft.htm |

Re: Unidentified Aircraft Stendal August 6, 1944
Thanks Flitzer
That is a great series of decoy photos. It does seem a bit odd that this aircraft was so prominent on the airfield. I posted another luftbild from this same mission and it shows 9 fighters possibly ready to take off at one side of the field. The link is here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/2455401...7623296582738/ Maybe this is something like duck hunting. Thanks Again Scott Blyth |
