Review: Excellent reference work - I was a bit confused about the "Volume 1" part of the title but it turns out that the entire development history of the Ju88 is covered in this book and Volume 2 deals with the operational usage of the aircraft. This is a well written and very detailed reference work for the design and development of the Ju88 and it's variants and when I say "detailed" I mean that if you want to know really obscure things such as how many stringers were used in the fuselage and where they were positioned, this is for you! I particularly liked the original German papers and constructional diagrams shown throughout although more translations of the German text would have been useful. A superb book for model builders and aircraft anoraks (and I don't mean that disparagingly). Review: Another winner. - I pre ordered this book back in 2011 , priced at £35 it seemed like a good deal to go on, received my copy on return from holiday last weekend. For the price you do get a lot for your money , at full RRP it comes in at £50 which is not cheap by any standards. The book itself is presented in the familiar format of this publisher and this series , so no major surprises. The book is well made , print and photo reproduction is clear throughout, line diagrams are well sized and as far as I can see without problem. In one week it is impossible to read completely and digest a book of this nature and I do not pretend to have done so , I have however spent time with the project and have read some selected sections and have come away impressed. The JU88 is a well known aircraft, one of "the maids of all work" which comes from it being as the authors describe as being a " proven design" one which preformed well and provided scope for diversity and service beyond its primary role as a bomber. The development of the aircraft as a heavy fighter, nightfighter , even that of mounting a recoil less 88mm gun are explored as well as projects like the 188 288 and 388 which were developed from the basic 88 itself. I am happy to say I can honestly say I have learnt a fuller appreciation of the JU88 itself and gained some insights into how the Luftwaffe worked , also pleasing is a chapter comparing it to similar aircraft from other nations within the Axis and Allied camp. This first of two deals with " Development, Production and Technical History and use as in other volumes has been made of period material from Luftwaffe and Junkers documents. Volume 2 will deal with Operational use of the JU88 both "Day and Night", looking forward to this one to be sure for it is as a nocturnal warrior that my major interest in the aircraft comes , it is also worth saying that this volume dove tails nicely with the book on the Mistel projects. Worth buying IMO a thumbs up. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 767,532 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 635 in Aviation History 1,003 in Military Vehicles 1,064 in Military Aircraft | | Customer reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (46) | | Dimensions | 22.86 x 2.54 x 31.12 cm | | ISBN-10 | 1906537429 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1906537425 | | Item weight | 1.85 kg | | Language | English | | Print length | 336 pages | | Publication date | 1 Oct. 2014 | | Publisher | Classic Publications | ## Images ![Junkers Ju88: From Schnellbomber to Multi-Mission Warplane (1): Volume 1 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71WpYy1YYmL.jpg) ![Junkers Ju88: From Schnellbomber to Multi-Mission Warplane (1): Volume 1 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41mhjpKGyGL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent reference work *by R***A on 19 October 2013* I was a bit confused about the "Volume 1" part of the title but it turns out that the entire development history of the Ju88 is covered in this book and Volume 2 deals with the operational usage of the aircraft.
