History

The Junkers 87 Stuka was an iconic weapon of World War Two and an aircraft name that was, and still is, instantly recognized worldwide. Its roles in Poland and the Battles of France and the Low Countries are almost legendary, but in the U.K. its import during the Battle of Britain is one that has never been covered in any specific detail.

Here, Andy Saunders takes a critical look at every operation by Ju87s against British targets in 1940—including those on land and at sea. Each raid is charted, covering all aspects of the attacks including participants, defending RAF fighters and those on the receiving end. Myth and reality and truth and legend are all examined and analyzed in this new book, which adds to our knowledge of one of the most significant periods in the whole of British history.
