Мировая Авиация 163

В модификации A-5 самолет Ju 290 отличался усиленным бронированием, системой аварийного слива топлива и более мощным вооружением. Данный самолет эксплуатировался 5-й авиагруппой дальней разведки (FAGr 5; авиабаза Мон-де-Марсан, Франция).

The Junkers Ju 290 bomber-transport was larger than the civil Ju 90, from which it was developed. Four 1,500 h.p. BMW 801 radial engines gave the Ju 290 a top speed of 250 m.p.h.

The Ju 290 first saw action as an emergency transport aircraft, the V1 prototype and the first Ju 290A taking part in the airlift operations at Stalingrad in late 1942. The Ju 290A‑2 was a dedicated maritime patroller, examples of which were sent in August 1943 to the newly established FAGr.5 at Mont‑de‑Marsan, as seen here

Ju 290A-2 WNr 0158 was one of two delivered to FAGr.5 following the unit’s formation in July 1943. The Ju 290A-3 that followed, of which three were built, differed in having a low-drag Focke-Wulf-designed tailgun position. Five Ju 290A-4s were built with minor armament modifications, the A-5 undergoing some major revisions.

Only 11 examples of the Ju 290A-5 were built - more than any other variant - and although the type was much admired by its pilots and crews, there were simply not enough of the aircraft to fulfil the tasks its crews had been set. One Ju 290A-6 was built as Hitler’s pressurised personal transport, but it was never used as such.

Junkers Ju 290A-5 WNr 0170, code KR+LA, was the first of 11 maritime reconnaissance versions built, and was reportedly the machine used by Rudolf Mayr to practise take-offs at high overload weights in February 1944. The Far East flights would have used a specially-modified long-range variant, the A-9, with reduced armament.

Германская 5-я авиагруппа дальней разведки, размещенная в Мон-де-Марсан (Франция), в октябре 1943 года использовала для дальней разведки Ju 290 (на фотографии Ju 290A-5), оснащенные поисковой РЛС FuG 200 Hohentwiel и выдававшие данные целеуказания для экипажей субмарин.

Developed from the Junkers Ju 90 airliner - itself an outgrowth of the German “Ural Bomber” programme abandoned in 1936 - the Ju 290 first flew in August 1942. It reached its operational apogee as the Ju 290A‑5 maritime reconnaissance aircraft, an example of which is seen here, and which incorporated extra armour for fuel tanks and crew.

Данный Ju 290A-7 был захвачен союзниками и перевезен в США для испытаний. На A-7 ввели носовую турель, а на серийных машинах поставили еще и поисковую РЛС.

The Ju 290 depicted, with original forward dorsal turret and reduced-diameter cowlings with bulges for valve gear, is probably an A-3 variant, one of only six built.

Poor quality picture showing the dark DLH livery, probably grey or green, applied in 1945 to one of the three converted Ju 290A-5s (in this case D-AITQ ‘Preussen’, w/nr 110176). This livery was supposedly applied to the other two as well.

The line-up of German aircraft in the background includes Ju 52/3ms, Ju 290A, He 219A, Si 204Ds and Ju 88s. After RAF service PP217 was allocated the civil registration G-AKJF for London Aero Motor Services Ltd, but was later sold to Sky Taxis of Johannesburg.

St Andrews’ crosses on a white background were painted even in the inner surface of the rudders - an unusual practice in the EdA’s system of aircraft markings at that time. After the removal of every gun position and blister-type windows, the clean lines of the Ju 290 are evident.

Единственный построенный Ju 290A-6 предназначался персонально для Гитлера. В апреле 1945 года его перегнали в Испанию, где он и остался. В 1950-е годы он кратковременно эксплуатировался испанскими ВВС.

The powerful Ju 290A-5 was much appreciated in the EdA, as it lacked a heavy transport at that time.

In the summer of 1953 the AGA’s 5th Promotion travelled to Portugal. Noteworthy is this sub-type’s antennae array. Two of these aerials (the D/F loops placed over the cabin) were fitted in Spain, very likely by the Leon MA.

A few months before being withdrawn from use, Ju 290A-5 parked on the edge of Matacan’s apron on February 25, 1956. The inner starboard engine lacks its propeller. Note the B-25D on the right. The T-6Ds were assigned to the Matacan-based Basic School.

The Ju 290A was popular with its pilots, being a docile and comfortable aircraft to fly, with a spacious cockpit and extensive glazing. Despite the latter, however, one of the type’s drawbacks pointed out by its aircrews was the restricted view from the cockpit while on the ground. In this photograph, the instrument layout appears surprisingly basic.
