Beyond its famed role as the Luftwaffe's long-serving Schnellbomber (fast bomber), this book tells the story of the Junkers Ju 88 as a day and nightfighter. In addition to the aircraft's development for such roles, the authors offer an analysis of the engines, weaponry and sophisticated electronics and radar equipment carried by the Ju 88, including its airborne radars, passive homers, navigation aids, radios and IFF sets.
Also covered are the operations conducted by Ju 88 day fighters in the Mediterranean, the lesser-known 'train-busters' and nightfighters deployed on the Eastern Front, and also an examination of the camouflage and markings applied to the various Ju 88 fighters.
With an authoritative text by recognised Luftwaffe historians, accompanied by hundreds of rare photographs, plus specially commissioned colour artwork and maps, this book provides an essential and comprehensive overview of the technology of the Ju 88 fighter variants and detailed coverage of their performance as combat aircraft.
Approx. 300 pictures.
