Ola Guys

Yes you might think... Armor guy being lost... Well might be... I'm doing some research on the possibilities of a future project and for that I need info on the Stuka. I'm talking about the Divebomber stuka... the howling one. Are there drawings or even good pictures of what the pilot sees when flying? and I need some basic dimensions of stuff in the cockpit and the length of the nose from the edge of the window to the prop?
Is this info that is available on the web or is there somebody who has this info available.

Looking forward to hear from you ... the guys with experience.

Hello Robert

I fear "we" cannot help very much. I cannot remember seing an inflight photo forward from the pilots seat .. I mean .. someone has to fly the beast ... Probably your best chance is to search some of the flight sim sites (IL-2 and the like).

As for measurements and other general stuff (also photos). Griehl's book on the Ju 87 is pretty nice:



I do not know what they want for it nowadays .. try sfb.at or zvab.com (used books search engines)

As for drawings, pix and so on the Kageros might be best

Photos and profiles can be found in Stuka by Classic publications



Stuka Pt.1
Stuka Pt.2

.. probably not what you are after, but measurements are best taken by yourself .. you know what tolerances are o.k. for you

all the best

Steffen
