Re: JU-88 C-6 without gondola

Thanks, Artie. I rather agree with you on the likely value of the ventral gun, which makes it a little surprising that it wasn't removed more often. Not only removing the drag of the gondola but the weight of an extra crewmember. However, as long as operation in formation was considered perhaps it wasn't the value of a single gunner but the combined fire of several.
