    JU-88 G-6

    Hi Folks,



    Can someone tell me what gun controls were available to the pilot of a JU-88 G-6 and where they were located? Were they buttons or triggers? What controlled the ventral guns and what controlled the schrage musik?

    I assume that the controls were on the pilot's stick, but the exact location of the gun controls and their configuration is hard information to come by.

    Best,
    ~C

    You need to talk to a member here, Junkers88A1 He's restoring a real Ju-88. If anyone would know he would.

    Greetings David glad to see you here

    the Ju 88G fighter had a push button switch enlcosed into the upper right end of the U shaped steering wheel/column. the push button had a protective mounting cover over it for safety reasons that was easily moved off when attack/firing took place.

    Hi Erich--Great to talk to you again! Thanks for the answer! I still can't quite figure out how the pilot switched between the two gun systems. Like we discussed before, info on the G-6 is incredibly scarce.

    Bestens,
    David

    Erich is right.
    Every fixed installed gun is fired by using the afore mentioned button on the "Hörnerschwenkgriff".
