The Junkers Ju 88 was one of the most important tactical bombers of
the World War Two era. Its beginnings went back to the mid-1930s,
and it flew in Luftwaffe operational service from late 1939 until
the latter stages of the war. Built in a number of specific
versions and sub-types, the Ju 88 proved to be a versatile
multi-purpose design that fulfilled the bombing role with
distinction and was also successfully adapted for other unrelated
tasks. These included use as a long-range fighter, night fighting
and reconnaissance. Some examples were even used in the late-war
period as explosives-equipped flying bombs. With radar installed,
the type became one of the most significant nocturnal fighters of
the conflict. Underlining its importance, the Ju 88 served on all
fronts where the Luftwaffe was operational during World War Two and
was built in significant numbers. The type also flew with a number
of export customers. Containing over 150 photographs, this book
tells the fascinating story of the Ju 88, from its creation through
to the end of its operational service.
