About this title

Synopsis

Undoubtedly the most versatile German aircraft of World War 2, the Junkers Ju 88 served as a fighter, bomber, and patrol aircraft on every front on which the Luftwaffe fought. However, it was designed primarily as a fast medium-bomber, entering service just as the tanks rolled across the border into Poland at the very start of the war. Blooded in action during the ensuing months of 'Phony War' in the West, the Ju 88 soon proved to be a formidible opponent for the beleaguered Allied air forces. It played a key role in the Battle of Britain and the night Blitz which followed. Indeed, the Ju 88, and its replacement the Ju 188, continued to venture across the Channel in ever-dwindling numbers up until 1944.
