The Authors earlier book on the Junkers Ju.87 Stuka was allowed become out of print and unavailable. Opportunity was therefore taken to produce a brand-new, highly expanded and upgraded history of this famous aircraft to a much higher standard with a wide variety of new and original photographs.

Her origins are listed along with her designers and early usage pre-war. The glory days of the Blitzkreig are fully covered, as are her anti-shipping roles in Europe, the Baltic and the Mediterranean. Her second career as a tank-busting aircraft on the Eastern Front is covered as are the final days as a Night Intruder bomber, but many other specialised roles are given full prominence also, including carrier bomber, glider tug and ambulance aircraft.
The widespread use of Germany's allies of the type, Italy, Rumania, Croatia, are given coverage as are the final post-war uses by the Czechoslovakian air force as a training aircraft. Profusely illustrated with many new facts this is the ultimate book on the Stuka by the author of the first!
