Junkers Ju 88 A and D

[Baron]

Hi folks!

Sorry for the delay, had some busy days. Here are the different wheels for the Ju88A-5 and to compare the wheel of the Ju88A-4.


The wheel of the Ju88A-5 was 1100mm and 1140mm of the Ju88A-4. Also the rim was larger as on the earlier wheel.

Cheers, Simon

Thanks Simon, is anything else known about the A-5 in the middle? Was it an upgraded A-1 or was it a new built A-5. Any known WNr. for the aircraft shown in the photos? Units, dates?

Cheers

Hi Clint!
No sorry, I don't have more data of these planes.
Cheers,

Ok no worries. I'll keep an eye out for the middle variety.

I do believe that below we have one of the mysterious hubs in the middle of Simon's selection. Albeit missing the central flat cover part (Usually with all the maker tags and dataplates affixed to it). The new style outer rim area is shown to good effect though. This, if the details are correct though was from an A-1:



Junkers Ju88A-1
2./KG30
WNr.0880161
Date of loss: 22 July 1940
Crew:
Fw. Max Schlecht
Uffz. Heinz Bellmann
Fw. Gotthardt Oswald
Uffz. Hermann Böhrkircher

The aircraft accidently hit the Kirkestind mountain, south-east of Bardufoss during a training flight. All crew were KIA.

Thank you folks!
I'm finishing the Ju188A-2 now! Next will be the Ju88A-6 with cable cutter! If anybody has reference photographs were the markings are visible I would be very happy to see them.
