Book Description

Publication Date: 1986

This "In Action" volume provides an in-depth look at the history of a specific / aircraft. Many aspects of its design, development, and service use are covered. / Photos are used extensively. Three-view drawings illustrate differences between / each design variant. A colour centerfold shows the different types of markings / and paint schemes of that aircraft. / These books are excellent references for modelers wishing to document a scale / project or as a source of ideas for colour schemes or detailing. / Each is 50 to 58 pages and measures 11" x 8.25". / / INCLUDES: Covered is the Junkers Ju-87 Stuka dive bomber, a major instrument / of the German Blitzkrieg against Poland and Western Europe. Nevertheless, it / proved woefully inadequate against British Spitfires and Hurricanes during / the Battle of Britain.

4.0 out of 5 stars JU87 Stuka In Action = Review, August 3, 2000

This review is from: Ju 87 Stuka in action - Aircraft No. 73 (Paperback)

This is one of the better Squadron/Signal Publications books. Lots of line drawings and photos. 60 pages. Color spread in the center sheet depicting 10 paint and insignia schemes. The Standard paint scheme, the Desert scheme used in the Africa campaign, and the white paint scheme used on the Eastern Front are all depicted. The volume does a good job of showing the development of the type from the "A" model through the "H" model. Recommended for scale model documentation.
