looking for Ju 87d Jocelyn

thank you

Julio

 

Hi Julio and welcome to the forums.....hope to see many more postings from you.

Do you have any idea which unit the Ju 87D variant is from ?

E

 

No

All that I have is that picture.
Since it's without the dive brakes it was probably produced after the d-5 series and was probably not used for diving bombing but for land attack/support

Julio

 

Julio: The a/c has been repainted and the gun/cannon fairings plugged. I wonder if the exhaust suppressors were installed and rmoved as the exhaust ports are dmaged at least on two of them.....if so we have a D-5? from a NSG unit and this might indicate NSG 1,2 or 9 if fallen into US hands.

Thoughts on this ?

I have some data about it from where I took the picture.

let's see if I cant put it in english.

1-it is a d-5 or latter because it's not with the dive brakes
2- it's not with its guns at the wings
3- the retractile dive sirens (is it correct?) at the landing gears where removed.
4- the top of pilots seat is a 10mm armour plate and the of the rear gunner is a 8mm.

that's all i know. hope you can understand my english description.

 

Welcome on board, Julio!

You can try to make a detailed description in Portuguese and some of our other Portuguese members or myself, who speak very good Spanish could help. Well, it is just a sugestion.

 

ok

as sirenes retráteis foram retiradas dos paralamas no trem de pouso e não há metralhadoras montadas nas asas.
Os freios de mergulho sob as asas não estão colocados.
O alto do assento do piloto é uma chapa blindada de 10 mm e a traseira de 8mm.

These info and the picture can be found at the book from Lt. Col J. A. Baker abotu the Stuka, 1980, Bison Books limtd. isbn 0-89009-323-7

yes

I want to build a model of it.
I'm trying to figure out the colors and markings of it.

I found more pictures of it, and another stukas from RAF and Italy too.

but that the jocelyn is identified as a ju-87d-3 in Tunisia/1943

 

Well for one thing it would be the last Stuka D variant to serve in North Africa. Wish I had more early war materials but I do not. Possibly with St.G 3 ?

Yes, it is a job for Rodrigo...

Stupid Friedrich did not understand much...

 

Hi dear friends...

I´m still researching, that´s a interesting thread.

Julio, I´m Brazilian too, and my ICQ number is 48988669, if you want to talk with me. I have some friends who could help us, with a lot of knowledge about WW2 Aviation.

And Friedrich, you must know me as "Digo" from ICQ, yes... that guy who made jokes about Brasil 2, Germany 0 at finals of world cup. !!!


Thanks Otto for recomendation...

 

Yes, I bloody know who you bloody are!

And I also know for WWII and for the World Cup that the winner is far from being the best!!!
