Junkers Ju 88

Designed as a fast level bomber and dive-bomber, the twin-engined Ju 88 was a mainstay of theLuftwaffe during the early and middle years of World War II. Disappointing in its first big confrontation - the Battle of Britain - the aircraft came into its own later in other theatres and in other roles, particularly that of nightfighter. The author describes in detail the design, development and operational use of this famous type. Illustrated with many rare archive photographs, this book should be a useful addition to the library of anyone interested in the aircraft and the history of World War II.
