Junkers Ju-88 Volume II Kagero Monographs No 59 3D Edition Having reviewed the first volume on the Ju-88 HERE i though that this volume would cover other variants, it seems I was wrong. Whereas the last volume was mostly about the development and issuing of aircraft to squadrons, this volume deals with the aircrafts participation from the phoney war, 3rd September 1939 up to the end of the fighting in France in June 1940. It seems we’re due several more volumes on the Ju-88 in the future. That said it is still a very good book, with lots of information on the actions in which the aircraft was used, losses and general info on the maintenance and servicing at the time. The text, which takes up sixty seven pages of the book, is accompanied by lots of period photographs from Dunkirk to Norway and everything in-between. The rest of the book is filled with the fabulous 3D drawings that Kagero have become noted for, with some real close up detail of many of the aircrafts equipment and fittings. It is these drawings that will probably be of most use to the modeller in helping get the most detail into a model, although the photographs can also help in working out aircraft codes, area of use and the dates in determining to model a particular aircraft. Conclusion The history of the Ju-88 is continued and expanded upon in this volume which, when accompanied with the photographs and 3D drawings makes this book another must have for the Luftwaffe historian and modeller alike. Very highly recommended. Review sample courtesy of
