Content and Historical Value

The book describes the development of the German Junkers Ju 88 bomber – an aircraft widely used by the Luftwaffe between 1939 and 1945 as a dive bomber, reconnaissance plane, destroyer, and night fighter. Particular emphasis is placed on the Ju 88 A-2 version, powered by Junkers Jumo G-1 engines with an output of 1200 HP, originating from the late 1930s. The publication offers an in-depth analysis of the use of the German Walter Starthilfe 109-500 A-1 rocket boosters, which provided the planes with a significant advantage when taking off with a full combat load.

The content of the book is based on rich photographic material and unique 3D visualizations, making it an indispensable source for modelers building Ju 88 replicas in 1/32, 1/48, and 1/72 scale – regardless of the model manufacturer.
