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.

Ron Mackay's interest in military aviation began during WW2. A working knowledge of German extended his field of study to the Luftwaffe and the field of night fighter operations. This is Ron's second book for Crowood, the first being Messerschmitt Bf 110.

4.0 out of 5 stars
good background on a hard to find title,
By A Customer
This review is from: Junkers Ju 88 (Hardcover)
It was the first Crowood book that I bought, so I wanted to check it out before I ordered any other of their books. I was unsure what to expect, so I was pleased with what actually arrived. I will definitely buy a couple other titles of theirs, and I would recommend this particular book too.
