The Ju 88T was a reconnaissance version of the high speed Ju 88S. It was produced in two variants, each based on the equivalent aircraft in the S-series.
T-1
The T-1 was based on the S-1. It carried two or three cameras, with the exact combination depending on the mission. Camera installation was the same as in the Ju 88D-1. The T-1 could carry extra fuel or a GM-1 boost system in the internal bomb bays and retained the capacity to carry extra drop tanks. It carried a crew of three – pilot, radio operation/ gunner and engineer/ camera operator.
T-3
The T-3 was the PR version of the S-3. It had a top speed of 410mph with emergency boost. It was due to enter mass production late in 1944 when the emergency fighter program ended virtually all other aircraft production. A small number of T-3s were completed before this.

Combines a good background history of the Luftwaffe with a comprehensive examination of its aircraft, from the biplanes of the mid 1930s to the main wartime aircraft and on to the seemingly unending range of experimental designs that wasted so much effort towards the end of the war. A useful general guide that provides an impressively wide range of information on almost every element of the Luftwaffe
