Includes much new information on the production of the Ju 87. The Ju 87 was blooded in the Spanish Civil war and, during the invasion of Poland, the aircraft proved to be a most effective weapon. It was not until the Luftwaffe took on the RAF that the aircraft was found to be sadly lacking defensively. The most successful version was the Gustav tank buster that entered service in 1943, and the most successful Stuka pilot was Hans-Ulrich Rudel with a tally of over 500 tanks destroyed. This book details the development of the Ju 87, with many wartime photographs plus original design drawings and plans. There is a comprehensive review of front and second-line units plus biographies of many pilots who flew the type in action.* A FINE copy with NO MAJOR FAULTS.*
