Ju 88 C-2 and C-4 diference?

[edNorth]

Hi Artie;

Do you agree then that C-4 / 0648 ´conversion history´ was: Original A-5 F in components and mounted/ff as such - cv C-4 - cv C-7 (in that order)?

cheers

That isn’t correct. At the start of the C-2/4 series all selected A-1/A-5 were transferred from Bernburg to Dessau for conversion into C-2/4, but from autumn 1940 all C-4 came off the assembly line at Bernburg as "pedigree" C-4, beginning with W-Nr. 0538.
