    German Bomber loadouts (individual bomb sizes/makes)?

    Hey guys, does anyone have a good resource for specifics on German Bomber loadouts, e.g. I can find a number of sources that refer to the Ju-88 A4 as being kitted out with 2,500kg worth of bombs, but I can't nail down what that loadout was made up of.



    Any help would be much appreciated

    Hi Vincenzo,

    >some know what is Ga ?

    Ga = Abfluggewicht ('departure weight'). The problem with the table referring to it is that it's incompletely reproduced ... Ga has to be one specific value for the performance figures in the table to be valid, and that value is not listed (unless I'm missing something).

    From this documents, if i understand right
    88 A-4 internal wing fuel 1220 kg
    88 A-4 drop tanks fuel 1400 kg
    88 A-4 bomb bay fuel ~1380 kg
    88 A-4 bomb bay bombs 1400 Kg
    88 A-4 external bombs underwings 3000 kg
    88 A-4 max fuel ( 0 bombs) 4000 kg
    88 A-4 max bombs (1220 kg fuel) 3000 kg theorically can load other 1380 kg of fuel in bomb bay but this is over the max load

    111 H-16 internal wing fuel 1490 kg
    111 H-16 removable (?) wing tanks fuel 1065 kg
    111 H-16 bomb bay fuel 620 kg
    111 H-16 bomb bay bombs 2000 kg
    111 H-16 external bombs under fuseleage 2500 kg
    111 H-16 max fuel (1000 kg bombs) 3175 kg
    111 H-16 max bombs (1040 kg fuel) 3250 kg teorically can load other 250 kg of bombs, and also other fuel, but this is over max load

    so may be heinkel 111 maybe more versatile in load

    thank HoHun, i found other 111 manual here http://www.cockpitinstrumente.de/arc...20He111HPD.pdf

    Hi Vincenzo,

    >this is from a book or from luftwaffe/junkers document?

    It's also reproduced in Helmut Erfurt's "Junkers Ju 88 - Vom Original zum Modell", along with some other graphics that are obviously from the same source. It looks like some refined presentation prepared by Junkers, perhaps with the aim of selling both the Ju 88B (later to become the Ju 188) and the Ju 288 to the Luftwaffe (if you ask me).

    Regards,

    Hi Vincenzo,

    >"tragflachenmitteltein"

    Probably "Tragflächenmittelteil" = "wing centre secton".

    >"entnahmebehalter"? drop tanks? or optional wing tanks?

    "Entnahmebehälter" = "removable container". This term is not unambiguous because it can also mean "container something is taken out from".

    By the way, "ä" transliterates to "ae" if you don't have Umlauts available. (Just append an "e", then you can drop the dots from any Umlaut.) If you don't observe this rule, you might end up with a different meaning in the worst case :-)

    Regards,

    Henning (HoHun)
