One of the most versatile aircraft of the war: used as a bomber, fast bomber, reconnaissance, torpedo bomber, night fighter and as part of a flying bomb in the Mistel project.During the first flight, the prototype Ju 88 V-1, which had the civilian number D-AQEN, reached a speed of 580 km / h, which was higher than most fighters of that time. Hermann Göring, head of the Luftwaffe, was delighted. The fifth prototype set the record by flying a 1,000 km circle with 2,000 kg of payload on board at an average speed of 517 km/h. However, after satisfying all Luftwaffe requests, including the possibility of dive bombing, the maximum speed dropped to 450 km / h.Development problems greatly affected production, and by September 1, 1939 - the day of the attack on Poland - only 12 aircraft were delivered to the unit. Production rates were very low: only one aircraft per week.A. Gassner (Gassner) and W. H. Evers (Ewers), who had previously worked in the United States, participated in the work on the Ju 85 and Ju 88.The first sorties of the Ju 88 A-1 were against ships near Norway. The attack on Rosyth on October 16, 1939 was successful - three ships were damaged. But the formation was attacked by Spitfires from 602 and 603 Squadrons RAF and two Ju 88s were shot down. In a raid on Scapa Flow in Orkney the next day, one Ju 88 was shot down by anti-aircraft fire.All combat-ready Ju 88s (133 aircraft) participated in the blitzkrieg, but their combat and non-combat losses were very high. We had to spend considerable time on retraining the crews. At this time, insufficient carrying capacity led to the need for a strong redesign of the structure. The wingspan was increased and the upgrade received the designation A-5. All A-1s in service were upgraded to A-5s as soon as possible.Payment Policy We accept only PayPal Shipping Policy We ship WORLDWIDE.We will ship your purchase to your eBay address using AIRMAIL with TRACKING NUMBER.
