Thats right Ju-52 bomb bay pictures… does anyone know where I can find some good pictures of the vertical bays in some Condor Legion Ju-52’s? All I know so far is that there are 3 of them and they hold bombs vertically. I dont know if they had doors that opened in flight or whether they were covered and the cover was removed for a bombing mission (like a Mitsubishi Betty). Any information at all on this subject will be greatly appreciated!!
Did anyone ever get back to you on this? I couldn’t find any further posts. I want to build a Condor Legion Ju-52 bomber and I am having a difficult time finding references.
Thanks,
Will
The only reference I could find was in a book called Warplanes of the Third Reich published by William Green in 1986. They are no photos of the bomb bay but in the specifications part of the listing it states “Maximum internal bomb load of 1650 pounds.” The fuselage was "skinny compared to other bombers. Not sure if the bombs could have been held vertically.
