If we don't know the aircraft's serial (tail) number, or the date, we won't find any details of this accident.

I imagine it is a very efficient method to protect the photo against copying and reprinting. Unfortunately, plagiarism is endemic. Radu |

I'm kind of interested in the two different "Auntie Ju's". One has a distinctive bubble (for navigation?) and the other with some sort of navigational radio antenna?

The bubble is a "Condor Haube" and was a machine gun turret. The ring on the other plane is a direction finder loop. That was an atenna used to receive a radio signal from the airfield and thus direct the plane to its destination, a bit like radio-orienteering nowadays (is anyone still doing that?) D/F loops were used on almost all German aircraft, in different sizes, configurations/arrangements, locations. They were also used on Romanian aircraft. The code on the Ju52 is quite unclear - here are some possible combinations: G6 = Transportgeschwander 4. 8Q = Transportgruppe 10 HTH Radu |

It was also used for determining the aircraft position, by using two or more land based emitters. The 78th Bomber Squadron used this technique over the Black Sea. |

The "circle" (rohr) is the antenna of the "peilgerat" homing device/radio compass. It was used for variety of navigational purposes, including triangulation of position.

The windscreens appear to be rather different as well.
I suppose I could do some research....  |

The windscreens are the same, they are just viewed from different angles.
