Junkers Ju-88C-6 F8+BX, 13.KG40 Battle over the Biscay Corgi Aviation AA36711 Scale 1:72 Lorient, France 1943 Highly detailed Corgi Aviation diecast model airplane Item#: AA36711 CG36711 Scale: 1:72 The Junkers Ju-88 proved to be one of the most versatile and effective German aircraft of the Second World War. Designed initially as a high speed bomber, able to outpace fighter aircraft sent to challenge it, early Ju88 units endured a difficult introduction to combat, especially during the Battle of Britain. Despite the Ju-88 being the latest bomber to enter service, pilots had not had time to familiarise themselves with this advanced aircraft and it suffered loss rates higher than the older Heinkel He-III and Dornier Do-17. Many were lost in training accidents or attributed to pilot unfamiliarity with the advanced aircraft, but constant development soon turned the Schnellbomber into a fine aircraft, with the basic airframe capable of supporting numerous modifications. Indeed, the Ju-88 was in constant production throughout WWII and was produced in greater numbers than any other twin engined aircraft of the Second World War. Having entered production in the spring of 1940, the Junkers Ju 88 served with the Luftwaffe throughout the Second World War, proving itself to be a capable and versatile aircraft, used in all manner of roles from bomber to night fighter. Powered by a pair of 1,200hp Jumo 211 engines, it had an extra ETC 250 bomb rack outboard of the engines, each capable of carrying a 550lb bomb. The Ju 88 went on to prove itself to be extremely effective as an anti-shipping aircraft both in the North Sea and the Mediterranean. The Battle of Britain however proved to be very costly. The Ju 88’s faster speed and the fact it was deployed in smaller numbers than its stable mates did not prevent its losses exceeding those of the Dornier Do 17 and Heinkel He111. By October 1940, 313 of the aircraft had been lost over Britain.
