Obscure reference

#1

Post by John Withill » 06 Jan 2018, 15:24

HI Guys .

I'm very keen on tracking down a reference to a design ( never built ) of a large transport aircraft which looked very similar to the Savoia Marchetta SM82 ........ The 82 was used by various German units after the Italian Surrender , but were slow . I did see a referral in the dim and distant past to a design pretty much copied by a German aircraft manufacturer but I'm struggling to find it again . Any takers ????

I don't think there was any copy of SM.82 by Germany.

Hi Dili

I've seen a basic line drawing in a book about the Ju 190 - 290 ...... will find the book ( again ) and quote the working reference number .

Junkers had trimotors with the 252/352 as successor to the 52, both were produced in limited numbers

The Focke-Wulf Fw 190 was the only aircraft to bear the 8-190 number in the RLM designation sequence. Therefore, when you wrote "Ju 190", I think you meant to say Ju 90.
