JU-88 ?
I have a strike photo with another aircraft taken with the photo. Possibly a JU-88. Any idea if this is correct.
Thanks Richard |

Re: JU-88 ?
That wing certainly looks Junker. Do you have a date? Could also be a 188.
Hows the weather in Squaw Fallout these days? |

Re: JU-88 ?
Looks like a Halifax to me. The overall proportions do not seem to match a twin.

Re: JU-88 ?
The shadows from the flash and vibration of the camera are playing a few tricks but I would concur that it is a Ju-88.
A Halifax Graham? I only see two engines? Unless, someone was using a Manchester. Stephen |

Re: JU-88 ?
I think it's a Halifax too. I can see a tail turret as well as four engines.

Re: JU-88 ?
The wing profile does not look like that of a Halifax. The only other aircraft with a similar wing is a B-17. They were not in service at this time unless a USAAF aircraft was part of this raid.

Re: JU-88 ?
Dear gentleman,
never this is a Halifax - also not an Ju88. Note the shape of the elevator. To compare : Halifax silhouette http://gb.fotolibra.com/images/previ...halifax-1.jpeg Ju88 silhouette http://gb.fotolibra.com/images/previ...unkers-88.jpeg More silhouettes : http://www.fotolibra.com/gallery/421539/germany-2/like/ Regards JohnnyB |
