The Ju88

[Danelov]

The best of the german bombers of the Battle of Britain and the most faster. Empty was also quite difficult to intercept by the Hurricanes. Speciallity was the precision attacks , dive attacks in ships and industrial installations and key targets like the Spit factory at Southampton.

Bob Tuck states in his bio that during BOB. The ju-88`s would some time come in and low level skip bomb ships in convoy. Also when the he-111`s and ju-88`s were modified to carry torpedos, sometime after BOB. They would use the golden comb attack to get firstly hits.Then to cause confusion and to get the convoy into disorder. He also states the best to attack ju-88`s was from the front to kill the crew. Ju-88`s at the time of BOB did not have a forward firinig gun on bombers but later the bombers had a cannon fitted and of course the night fighters/ heavy day fighters had forward firing guns.
