During ww2, the Luftwaffe tested some versions of his famous dive bomber JU-87 Stuka. The link below provides a small colection of pictures, some rare and unknown to me, these versions. I hope you enjoy.

thanks, interesting to see another version of the cockpit or turn in wings versions
The stuka with the two blisters on the wings with plexiglass panels; what were they supposed to be for ?
Two extra men being able to turn the wing canon a few degrees for better accuracy ?
FDR - on a very quick research, this seems to have been a variant of the Ju-87 D intended to allow the aircraft to pick up shot-down pilots who would be carried in the wing pods. I am not sure whether it was ever adopted. I would have thought that that the inclusion of wing pods (let alone downed pilots) would have added considerably to the already considerable difficulty of flying this crate … Best regards, JR.
