Designed as a fast bomber that could out-run the fighters of the era, the twin-engine Junkers Ju 88 became one of the most versatile aircraft of the Second World War. Such was the success of the design that its production lines operated constantly from 1936 to 1945, with more than 16,000 examples being built in dozens of variants – more than any other twin-engine German aircraft of the period. From an early stage it was intended that it would be used as a conventional light bomber and as a dive-bomber. As such, it served in the invasion of Poland, the Norway campaign, the Blitzkrieg and the invasion of France and the Battle of Britain. It went on to operate in North Africa, formed a key part of the air assault in Operation Barbarossa, and was vital to the Luftwaffes defence of Germany in the face of the Allied bomber offensive. It was also adapted for use as a fighter, night fighter, torpedo bomber, reconnaissance aircraft and even as a Mistel flying-bomb. It was used effectively against both land targets and shipping. In this selection of unrivalled images collected over many years, and now part of Frontline's new War in the Air series, the operations of this famous aircraft are portrayed and brought to life.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“In all, this results in an excellent reference book without the usual mass of statistics and charts you get in standard histories. You get to see the plane as it was during operations and it is fortunate for us that so many good images are presented. This is a boon for not only the enthusiast but also for the modeler. It is part of a very good series and what is even better is that these books are at a good price.”

In this selection of unrivalled images collected over many years, and now part of Frontline's new War in the Air series, the operations of this famous aircraft are portrayed and brought to life.

    Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2020

    I was expecting a complete profile on the Junkers Ju-88 aircraft including interior pictures etc. Instead this is mostly various episodes in the early war profiling individuals and their experiences with the Ju-88 aircraft. While well researched, there was little to address the various models of the bomber and even less to show pictures of the different aircraft. If you want a short history, this may be a book to look at, if you want a reference manual on the aircraft, don't buy this book.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 17, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    The photographs are very extensive and cover the JU88s early development and use. However, the book would have benefited by the addition of more detail concerning the organisations operating the aircraft especially those that feature in the photographs. Overall a very book for my library on this topic.
