| Description: |
A detailed work on the Ju 87 Stuka dive-bomber. The terror-weapon of the German blitzkrieg on Western Europe, the Ju 87's reputation was hammered in the Battle of Britain but it regained its authority in many Mediterranean campaigns through the early 1940s, which are described here. |
| Synopsis: |
A detailed work on the Ju 87 Stuka dive-bomber. The terror-weapon of German blitzkrieg on Western Europe, the Ju 87's reputation was hammered in the Battle of Britain, where its vulnerability to fighter aircraft was savagely exposed. Stukas were then sent to the Balkans to aid the Italians, where its effectiveness as a precision dive-bomber took a heavy toll of allied troops and naval vessels. This volume includes interviews with aircrews who explain the tactics used in combat with the Stuka. Scale drawings and archival photographs are presented, together with a section on uniforms worn by Stuka aircrew. |
