Its variants, including the Ju 188 and Ju 288 are also covered, along with the wide array of armament and equipment with which it was fitted, and its various markings and camouflage schemes. The text is illustrated with several hundred rare photographs, manufacturer's handbook data, scale line drawings, and specially commissioned color artwork. 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 | 3,107,666 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 2,170 in Aviation History 3,768 in Military Vehicles 4,328 in Military Aircraft | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 46 Reviews | ## Images ![Junkers Ju88: From Schnellbomber to Multi-Mission Warplane (1): Volume 1 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71WpYy1YYmL.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.
