How much difference is there between the Ta 152 E-1 and the C-1?
Is it possible that this is could be Ta 152 C-1's?

I have ordered a copy of the magazine this morning!

If I remember correctly, the E-1 was an H-1 with camera in the rear fuse and C-model wings. The E-2 was an H-1 with camera.

Yes of course you're right Skyraider!

I'm sorry for being to tired today, I forgot that the C-1 had a DB engine instead of the Jumo 213.

Though this is a small image, you can clearly identify the combination of short span wing and Jumo 213.

Interesting... that almost looks like a clipped H-wing rather than a C-wing.

As far as I can see, they look like regular "C" or short span wings, look closely, and you can see the deflected control surfaces consistent with the short wing. My question is if there is any confirmation that these were in fact "E" variants? Are there any images of the camera installations, or references to that effect? I've heard of prototype "B" variants as well as "E" variants that were supposedly built, but haven't been photo-documented until, it looks like, maybe now.
