Re: Photos 6-8 +
Ed, once again much thanks for coming up with the odd one.
The Ju 87 in this picture appears to be a D, but the radiator intake is more oval and the windshield is flatter, perhaps armored glass. http://www.ebay.de/itm/Foto-Luftwaff.../111375494772?

Hi,
I think this is essentially a Ju87B, possibly with a reworking of the engine cowling. Perhaps a prototype to test the aerodynamic refinements of the cowling arrangements? The canopy and intake are certainly more suggestive of a Ju87B. Regards, Paul

Re: Photos 6-8 +
W.Nr. 291 was in Ju 87 B-1 series (087/0291); one note I have this already 100% crashed in early 1940, but then info likely wrong. Lettering in square marking on this extraordinary bird says it has Jumo 211 J-1 engine, but prop and cowling is neither standard Ju 87 D or B. Unfortunatly I know nothing more of this one, but I think photo is taken late 1942 (or later). Btw, its Ju 88 A-14 "4055 in background. -Ed
