Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:8172216 |
You are bidding on a VERY NICE example of a 100% original German Luftwaffe Aircraft Cockpit & Fuselage relics, as recovered from a downed Ju88 A-4 series bomber aircraft! Recovered from a wreck in Russia in 2016, I will provide the loss info as well as numerous photos of the recovery to the winning bidder! The Junkers Ju 88 was a World War II German Luftwaffe twin-engine, multi-role aircraft. Designed by Hugo Junkers' company in the mid-1930s to be a so-called Schne...llbomber which would be too fast for any of the fighters of its era to intercept, it suffered from a number of technical problems during the later stages of its development and early operational roles, but became one of the most versatile combat aircraft of the war. Affectionately known as "The Maid of all Work" (Mädchen für Alles), the Ju 88 proved to be suited to almost any role. Like a number of other Luftwaffe bombers, it was used successfully as a bomber, dive bomber, night fighter, torpedo bomber, reconnaissance aircraft, heavy fighter, and even as a flying bomb during the closing stages of conflict. Despite its protracted development, the aircraft became one of the Luftwaffe's most important assets. The assembly line ran constantly from 1936 to 1945, and more than 16, 000 Ju 88s were built in dozens of variants, more than any other twin-engine German aircraft of the period. Throughout the production, the basic structure of the aircraft remained unchanged.This hatch was located on various places on the fuselage and wings of the. It allowed for easy access to the weapons charging system, oxygen filler tanks, hydraulics, etc. Made of aluminum, these relics are in VERY NICE condition! Though they do feature some marks, corrosion, and damage, they are clearly identifiable! Included is part of a life raft oar, a canteen, and an electrical plug. Would make a PERFECT addition to any collection or display!
