I saw this picture in a recently purchased book on the Junkers Ju 88. What struck me as odd was the little collapsible (?) ladder that is leaning against the fuselage, just to the rear of the wing root. I have never seen that before. It looks too flimsy to me to be actual ground equipment...
Here's an interesting photo.
Taken in 1947, you can just make out a Focke-Wulf Fw-189 at the bottom left between the two hangers and for all the recognition guys out there - tell me what the flying twin-boomer is....:)
