Ju 88 D-1 without MG 81 in A-Stand —> common?
Hello,
I noticed that several Ju 88 D-1 didn’t have an MG 81 in the A-Stand, but some did. The windshield did not have the hole in these cases. So it was not that the MG 81 was deinstalled. Was that a common feature already implemented at the factory to reduce weight for long range recon missions? I also noticed that the MG 81 was missing when also the Bola was notinstalled, most likely to reduce drag and weight for long range missions. Cheers Roger |
