Junkers Ju 86s for Chile

[Dénes Bernád]

Many thanks, Peter, for the additions and an excerpt from your Ju 86 table.

The reason why I inquired about the constr. numbers of the Chilean Ju 86s is solely to try to understand the logic behind the distribution of the 8603xx series of aircraft built by Junkers.

One question, though, the 860341 does not show up in the list included in the Ju 86s sold to Sweden, as published in Swedish Bomber Colours, by MMP Books, page 54. However, the c/n of aircraft No. 135 is given as 860431. Could this be a typo for 860341?
Also, can you confirm that 860344 indeed ended up in Hungary?
Final question: which customer do you have for 860370?

Indeed a typo in the book. 860341 was the one going to Sweden.
I have nothing for 860431

I have the 0341 for Sweden. 0431 was an Ju 86 G.

0344 was exported to Hungary. I have no information about further fate.

0370 was also exported to Hungary, flown in March 1938 from Dessau via Munich to Szombathely as D-AYQO.

And there is no logic behind the 08603XX-series. There were cancelled orders from Austria and China and s/n were reassigned to different countries, and some of these ex Ju 86 K went to the Luftwaffe. It's a mess.
