a quick question about a particular Stuka
Posted by AndrewW on Sunday, January 4, 2015 10:23 AM

I'm wondering if anyone out there knows definitively whether or not Rudel's G2 JU87 (werknummer 494110) was fitted with the additional armor plate forward of the windscreen / beside the pilot canopy?  Thanks in advance.

One of my books has a close up. though there are some people standing on the wing blocking a full view, it does not look like it. His previous aircraft did not and neither did Anton KJorol's who surrendered at the same place and day as Rudel. So I would say not. The only other two pics I have seen are not very clear and the view is again blocked.
