Chapter 324： Universal bomber (1/2)
The disadvantages of equipment, sometimes, cannot be compensated by technology.
For example, Polish fighter jets lag behind German bombers in performance. This battle is difficult to fight, and at the same time, the number is also very important.
As it is now, when he launched into the sky, Skalski was determined to die. He just wanted to resist, but unfortunately, his resistance eventually ended without a disease.
When the shells from behind hit again, intuitionally, Skalski pushed the lever and turned quickly, trying to avoid the bullets that came. This time, he still habitually pushed the lever to the left!
As a result, dense bullets just covered the airspace where his plane was!
”Boom!” With a 20mm shell, his wing was torn apart in one shot, and the seagull's wing was half left in an instant!
The last Spanish Civil War showed the lack of power of the 7.92mm machine gun. Moreover, the machine guns arranged on both sides of the wings were not as easy to aim as the shaft guns. Therefore, the follow-up improvement was to upgrade the firepower.
Now, BF109 showed its power once again, killing the opponent's wing with one shot. At the same time, other machine gun bullets also brought countless bullet holes to the opponent's plane!
Skalski did not jump out of the cockpit. When the barrage came, his body trembled. Then, the entire cockpit was blood red.
The only P11 fighter plane that took off was rolling and falling down!
One shot down! Heinz was extremely excited, the first result!
Following the two BF109 fighters that flew down, they gave Heinz a thumbs up, and they could confirm the result of this shot down.
At this time, the bomber group behind has arrived!
The bomber that arrived this time was bigger than Stuka. It was a double-engined medium-range bomber, and it was a German universal bomber!
Junker-88.
The success of the Stuka bomber inspired Hugo Junkers. At the same time, in accordance with the requirements of the Imperial Aviation Department, he began to design this outstanding bomber.
Powered by two liquid-cooled DB600 series engines (replaced with Juncker’s own engines later), this bomber has a speed of over 500 kilometers per hour and a long range of 2000 kilometers!
With a load of more than 2 tons, it can be said that this bomber is quite successful. Just like the FW190, it is two indispensable aerial killers in Germany!
After overcoming various technical problems, this aircraft was successfully used as a bomber, dive bomber, torpedo bomber, reconnaissance aircraft, heavy fighter, and even as a flying warhead at the end of the war.
A total of 15,000 Ju88s were built during the entire World War II, far more than any other twin-engine German aircraft of that period.
This is a versatile bomber!
Junker 88 started to complete all technical improvements last year, which is one year earlier than in history, and now, the number of equipment for this bomber does not exceed one hundred.
The success of the design can only be tested through practice. Now, the 10 Junkers 88 bombers of the 1st Squadron of the 25th Bomber Wing are coming to bomb the Polish air base here!
From the appearance point of view, the Junker 88 apart from the twin engines, the biggest feature is its nose.
The upper part of the nose, the front part, is a glass-framed cockpit, which looks like a big-headed fly.
This is a four-man aircraft. For this medium-sized bomber, having the capability of dive bombing means that the aircraft has to pay a lot of price and must be strengthened in structure. All of this has been done by Junkers. !
