Ju-87B WNr.0878324

[fran]

Any record on this plane? the Wnr. was printed in white on the canvas cover, guessing the prefix 087 is for the type.

Best regards

Without more information as to where and when, I would suspect the machine you're looking for is WNr. 5324, rather than 8324 - I have no other WNr. in that range.

Could it be 0870324 ? This was also B-1 ..

[fran]

Hi Ed,
Yes, most surelly; mid figure is somewhat blurred and '0' is more likely than '8' since at the early stages where B-1 served, not so many were built. (Before war the rate of building was 60 per month)
Any Entry for 0324?
Regards

Not a main Typenschild but from a part. Dated May-37 so from an Anton.
Found in a spanish front line aerodrome.
Anyone with a Parts Catalog could trace what element is 315
