Photo Comment

The Junkers Ju 86 was designated B3 in Sweden, and this is the sole surviving Ju 86. The type was designed as a bomber and airliner in competition with the Heinkel He 111, and first flew in 1934. In the German Luftwafffe it had largely been replaced as a bomber by the outbreak of WWII although it was developed into a high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft.
