The Junkers Ju 88: Its Twilight Years in World War II. Designed as a fast bomber to outrun enemy fighters, the twin-engine Junkers Ju 88 became one of the most versatile aircraft of the Second World War. With over 16,000 examples built across dozens of variants, it was used in various roles including conventional light bombing and dive-bombing. The Ju 88 played a significant part in several key campaigns, including the invasion of Poland, Norway, France, and the Battle of Britain. This book examines the Ju 88's use in its later years, covering its deployment as a torpedo bomber, reconnaissance aircraft, and in the Mediterranean theater. It also explores its involvement in the Mistel flying-bomb project. Featuring a collection of images gathered over many years, this volume brings to life the operations of this famous aircraft during its twilight years. With detailed accounts of the Ju 88's various roles and deployments, this book provides a comprehensive look at one of the most important German aircraft of World War II.
