Initially designed as a fast medium bomber, the Junkers Ju 88 was
also used as a Zerstoerer heavy fighter by the Luftwaffe. It saw
its combat debut over Poland in 1939, and heavy fighter variants
saw action on every front up to VE Day. The ultimate Ju 88 fighter
variant was the G-model of 1944, which boasted a FuG 220 or 227
radar, an astounding array of cannon and machine gun armament and
advanced Junkers Jumo or BMW engines. A dedicated nightfighter, the
first Ju 88G-1s entered service with the Nachtjagd in the summer of
1944, replacing Ju 88C/Rs as well as some Bf 110Gs. Despite
suffering heavy losses in the final months of the war, Ju 88Gs also
inflicted serious casualties on Bomber Command throughout the war.
From patrolling over the Bay of Biscay, to the Arctic circle
opposing Allied convoys and, most successfully, as radar-equipped
nightfighters engaging RAF heavy bombers during defence of the
Reich operations from late 1941, this is the story of the Ju 88
aces who menaced Allied aircraft and shipping throughout World War
2.
