About the Junkers JU-88

With the exception of dog- fighting, it is difficult to think of any military duty for which this aircraft was not adapted. The original missions were level, and dive- bombing.

The Junkers Ju 88 is considered to be one of the most flexible and all- around aircrafts during the Second World War. It was designed by Ernst Zindel. On the Allied forces, the Mosquito and the Beaufighter were its counterparts. Like the Mosquito, it was also a fast bomber. It was very efficient and useful even though it was huge and slow. There were 104 prototypes that were made on 60 different versions. A total of 14,676 were built.

The Junkers Ju 88 is an outstanding fighter aircraft. It is maneuverable, gentle and easy to fly. It was used as a night fighter, a torpedo bomber, a reconnaissance aircraft and more.

In December 21 1936, the Ju 88 V1 prototype made its first flight. Hermann Goring, the head of the Luftwaffe, was overjoyed when it reached 360 mph. Finally, it could perform the promise of the high speed bomber (Schnellbomber). Its counterpart, the Dornier Do 17, modeled its streamlined fuselage. They modeled the aircraft with less defensive guns because they believed that it can overrun the other fighter aircraft.
