Need help identifing the aircraft in the attached fotos. Single engine (1 throttle lever), German early war, right wing shows sweepback about mid span, canopy slides rearward (note stops in sill).

Hi Richard,

It makes me feel like a Ju 87 cockpit; not sure though...

Cheers

Maybe of no help, but could it be Argus manufactured rudder pedals?

And that looks like a glass panel between the pilot's feet, so a Ju 87 is a strong possibility.

All, I've pretty much eliminated the Ju 87, the canopy doesn't match any model and the cockpit structure is too light compared to the B & D models.
the dark area under the rudder pedals looks more like a black rubber wear pad to me.

keep trying, been thru lots of fotos with no matches,

Is it a real aircraft or a mock-up?

[von Lutz]

Primoz,

I think it is a real aircraft, most German mockups seem to be made of wood and have mockup instruments rather than real ones. Another odd thing about this aircraft I just notice is the instrument panel curves up and round the fuselage like several bombers with a glazed nose so the pilot can look out thru it. So is it possibly an observation aircraft? But if so where is the single engine?

Chuck,

I can't tell if this is a single seater, since I only have fotos of one cockpit, there could be another below it.

Phil,

As I said above, I've eliminated the Ju 87. This aircraft is much lighter built leading me to think its an observation or training aircraft.
