Junker Ju87R-2 5884
All,
Trying to find out any more info on this bird as Ju87's are being discussed at the moment. I know about her loss, location and claim. Also crew, unit etc etc. Trying to establish the following points. Recorded as an R-2. Not sure if she was a Trop. Built 1941 at Weserflug. Issued to I/StG5 Coded with white letter 1./StG5? (possibly 10./LG1 before. Any idea of Stammkennzeichen?? Just looking for construction info, previous identity? regards, Mark |

Has new evidence appeared from somewhere? From old stated "facts" WNr 5881 is in the middle of a B-2/R-2 production run and I have it as an R-2. I have listed the switch between the B-1/R-1 production to the -2 model already at WNr 5562. I would be very happy if you or someone else could expand a bit regarding this. Also how far did the WNr range go? I have a last positively identified R-4 as WNr 6446, while other sources has indicated the WNr range all the way to 7069 without giving any sub-version details. Anyone who knows? Cheers Stig |

Re: Junker Ju87R-2 5884
Thanks GRM for the Stkz.
Been looking at the R-2 and seems they were ongoing summer 1941. It looks as though 5884 was completed/upgraded as an R-2 in April 1941? Looks like she was issued to IV. (Stuka) /LG.1 at the start of Barbarossa before being recoded with 1./StG.5. regards, Mark |
