I'm working on a project and need images of D-9 with ETC rack?

Thanks in advance.

Sorry, wrong rack. Just saw your title.

Actually all source books state that the standard rack for the D-9 was the ETC 504. A couple more of them say the ETC503/504. The ETC 501 was mentioned once while talking about the Dora prototypes. Usually the ETC 501 rack is associated with the Anton.

Just look at the oil leaks onto the droptank and the oil slick on the ground. Mind you, I have seen Gypsy Majors nearly as bad!

Possibly not what you're looking for Bill, but here are some pics of the rack on 190A at RAFM Cosford, where details might be useful.

Yep that's the ETC 501 rack but without the rear "tail" cover making it more streamlined.

No, you showed one of several - which I am also interested in. Thanks

Thanks Wurger - that was reason I asked for examples of operational 501s on the D-9. It is my understanding, however that D-9s were initially delivered with 501s before change to 504?

I have to admit I haven't seen a such pic. All of these with the D-9 in show the ETC 504. But I'll try to dig out deeper.

Wurger- what is your understanding of the mix of D-9s with/without ETC racks for fuel tank in LuftFlotte 3 and LuftFlotte Reich?

 

[Wurger]

If I understood you correcly ... both the ETC rack and the fuel tank were the option. So these could be attached or not depending on the mission type. Eg. the JV44 Doras were defended the airspace over the Me 262 airfield so these didn't need the additional fuel tanks and racks for them. Also that's possible there couldn't be anybody who could take care of the fuel tanks and racks storaging them separately at an airfield that could be changed quickly additionally. So the racks could stay attached although not being in use.
