[edit] Ju 88G-6a/b/c versions
Info about these versions were taken from German Aircraft of the Second World War book published by Putnam (1990 edition). I know that this book is a little bit old (first edition in 1972) but I don't have more modern English publications like monography published by Crowood. Polish monography published by AJ-Press (and probably it's English edition, if exists) in early '90s has info about a/b/c versions. --Piotr Mikołajski 08:49, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
- Someone added the a/b/c stuff postwar to separate the different radar systems or antennas used by the Ju 88 with SN-2. a was proably the early version with additional FuG 202/212 for close range, b proably the SN-2 with close range capabilities and normal antenna dipoles, c with diagonal antennas dipoles and d probably SN-2 with rear-warning antennas. --Denniss 13:12, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
- Don't you think we should write about these "subversions" with note that such designation is post-war? The same with Ju 88C-6a and C-6b and probably other Luftwaffe planes. --Piotr Mikołajski 14:41, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
- Hmm, maybe we should. But the C-6a and C-6b seem to be correct as the first version was the day fighter-bomber/Zerstörer while the C-6b was the specialized night fighter. They only shared the fuselage but differed in armament and radar.--Denniss 16:04, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
