Ah-ha Thanks for the reply Peter, thought it was strange never seen one like that before. It being a good idea im surprised it didn’t become a standard fit for JU-87s….Thanks again.

We’ve discussed this modification over on the LEMB and having spoken with Ju87 expert/author Peter C Smith, he suggested to me that it was a field modification…

Cheers
Pete

Just to say this Mag is very interresting. One question though, At the top of page 40 on the right is a JU-87 with side facing machine guns in the rear gunner position. As ive never seen such a Ju-87 as that I was wondering what mark it was or could it be a DIY mod….It fails to mention anything about the aircraft in the supporting text…..Any help most welcome…Gary
