Re: Camouflage and subtype for 4./TrGr186 Ju87 Stukas during the PC?6

Hello,

regarding the version of the Stuka there's some info in AirDOCs World War II Combat Aircraft Photo Archive ADC 005 - Junkers Ju 87 - Part 1 by Manfred Griehl. A quote from page 8 about "C" version:
"On August 10, 1937, the RLM issued the request for a carrier capable dive-bomber, the Ju 87 Tr. (C). [Tr. means Träger = carrier] The aircraft based on the Ju 87 B in its final version was to have rear folding wings, strengthened landing gear and arrestor hook. Initially, two Ju 87 B-0 were modified as Ju 87 C-0. On March 3, 1938, the Ju 87 V10 (WerkNr. 4928, ZK+HD) commenced the flight tests but only had fixed wings. The second trial aircraft, Ju 87 V11 (WerkNr. 4929, TV+OV) was built as C-1 with folding wings. The first five C-1s were completed in spring 1941."
If this is right, it's improbable that Caesars flew in PC.

Regards,
Bf 110
