Junkers Ju 87 : Stukageschwader 1937-41 (Combat Series , No 1)  John Weal. Osprey Publishing, Ltd. (UK); ISBN: 1855326361, Our Price: £12.84
	The cranked-winged Ju 87 Stuka dive-bomber symbolized the might of Nazi Germany in the early years of World War II. Although vulnerable to enemy fighters due to its modest speed and lack of manoeuvrability, it nevertheless took a heavy toll of the Allied forces in Western Europe. This volume covers the story of Junkers' quintessential dive bomber in operational service from its early days within the Legion Condor to its less than successful missions against Britain in the summer of 1940. The book features first hand combat accounts from Stuka crews of the period, explaining the training and tactics employed, as well as describing just what the JU 87 was like to fly. Full unit organizational strengths are also included in appendices.  Click here to view details

	102 photographs & 8 pages in color. From its maiden flight on June 1, 1939, the Fw 190 V1 fighter-bomber was destined to become a feared weapon of the Luftwaffe. Its superior handling and rugged construction made it a  maneuverable fighter capable of absorbing heavy punishment. It was used to patrol northern France, to fly hit-and-run raids on English ports and ground-attack missions on the Eastern front, and to defend German cities against heavy bombers. This volume covers the different versions of the plane as they appeared in various theaters of the war, along with the pilots who carved a name for themselves in the "Butcher Bird."
