Is it just a myth that the G-7 had the Ju 188 tail assembly (as stated many years ago by Gebhard Aders)?

They had G-1 tail (BTW same as Ju 188) but NOT the Ju 188 wings. Ju 88 G-1/6 could not be fitted with Ju 188 wings, as they were non-compatable" as stated in Ju 188 flight manual. As pointed out by Pater Achs the G-7 was planned have same Wing area: 54.7 m2 (587 ft2) as A-4 (ie. same as G-1/6) but Ju 188 had Wing area: 56 m² (603 ft²) (wiki)

If so, fine with me.

There's no need to start a fight on an otherwise very enjoyable thread. And if anyone really feels a need to be pedantic, they can at least be polite about it.

Back on topic please …

OK, ed, just to keep you happy I'll stop writing anything.

My view of this "Holy Grail" be mostly fiction - or deliberate misinfo - but mostly fiction created by them not really capable doing their own research and not propery if they have the resources available do research. Single images of obscure and often fictitious subjects do not alter this opinion of mine.

Dear Nick,

I suggest closing the thread. Your message has not been received.

Ed, I don't care how angry you feel about this topic, keep it to yourself, nobody else needs to hear about it. It can hardly have escaped you that plenty of people here have a track record of doing their own research.

Nick; no angryness, how on earth can you deduct that, maybe bitter (mostly over my country PM/PM wifes has his capital hiddein in offshore accounts and evading tax).
Certainly I have noticed those doing their research - and I try help those that do, occationally at least

"6.(F)123 Ju 88 S-1 140700 was not S-1 really, it was Ju 188 V61 (Prototype Ju 88 E-2) converted in mid 1942. Possibly the DF+EV but may have had other code."

Notice June there.

Regarding the logbook Beauvais had the Ju 188 V61 indeed the code DF+EV.

[edNorth]

Beauvais has DF+EV as "Ju 188 1061" in his logbook, so we need support for this be V61
