In actuality, it was a formidable weapon when employed properly and remained in operational use for the entirety of World War 2, achieving iconic status through its engagements at Dunkirk and the Battle of Britain.Aviation expert Andy Saunders addresses the misconceptions surrounding the Ju 87 with this fresh appraisal of its famous actions in the skies over France, the Channel and southern England. Enhanced by first-hand accounts, rare photographs and newly commissioned artwork and diagrams, the story unfolds to reveal how the Stuka defended itself against on oncoming fighters and how, in turn, RAF pilots learned to shoot the aircraft down.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 248mmItem Length: 184mmAuthor: Andy SaundersIllustrator: Gareth Hector, Jim LaurierContributor: Gareth Hector (Illustrated by), Jim Laurier (Illustrated by)Genre: Law & PoliticsTopic: Military History, Technology & Engineering, HistoryBook Series: DuelRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
