Hi Guys, I've been a long-time reader of this forum but a first-time poster! I wondered if anybody could help me with information regarding the navigator of a Junkers Ju 88 A-4? I keep reading conflicting accounts. I've attached a drawing below of the crew positions. I have read before...

Good evening mates. Any question, the Luftwaffe used primer before painted? If use, what the color is and this the color is same for all planes or the color change for different planes. I need the color primer for heinkel uhu he 219. Best regards.

What if after the victory in the Spanish Civil War the Germans opt to continue and expand their contributions to the Chinese resistance to the Japanese invasion; let's say Hitler dies after violating the Munich Agreement in March 1939 and the war with Poland doesn't happen, but Germany still has...

Hi all! This is my first post in this forum and to start, I just want to say I'm very happy to be here with all the wealth of knowledge stored here and all the amazing people involved! Now on to my post, I'm currently about to start on the 1/32 Ta-152 H-1 by Zoukei Mura and I've found the...

It's been a really long time since I looked at Stukas, so I have added a lot! The Ju 87 Stuka was a purpose-built dive-bomber which entered Luftwaffe service in 1935. Over 6,500 Stukas were built, and they were highly accurate and successful when there was no fighter opposition present...

I don't think I posted these before...? The Heinkel He 177 was a 4-engined heavy bomber which entered service with the Luftwaffe in 1942. It had an interesting layout of double-engines driving a single propellor in each wing ‘pod’ which led to serious complications in the early development...

I think I had this in the wrong section...Did the Luftwaffe include ground kills as part of a pilot's score? I thought this was only an Eighth Air Force thing. I found a photo of Walter Oesaus's 109E, Werknr.1559 that show 39 kill markings on the rudder, 14 pointing downwards. The caption says...

How would the RAF have faired if they had gone for a daylight strategic bombing campaign from 1941 on? Let's say the choice to go for a daylight campaign means they adopt the long range Spitfire variant for service as a escort. In 1941-42 the Luftwaffe was only fielding two Wings of fighters...

As the famous LEMB is now closed, some members needed the fill the void. And so the Luftwaffe Research Group was born. It enrolled some very knowledgeable former posters to investigate, answer, explain anything Luftwaffe related during 1933-1945. Link to the forum Luftwaffe Research Group

I finally got this one done: My 190 D-9 painting. I had a lot of help getting some of the details correct thanks to the aviation art groups on Facebook, but it's not too late to make revisions and I know some of you could probably point out a thing or two. I welcome that! Thanks to my...

Hello everyone: I am new to this forum and would like to apologize for having to make my first post on such a topic. Also please let me know if I am posting it on the wrong forum. I was just at a gun show, where self proclaimed Luftwaffe fighter pilot (with 5 kills) Gottfried Dulias had a table...
