	Junkers Ju 88 Fighter Variants
		Accordingly, in early summer 1939, Junkers modified the Ju 88 V7 prototype to include a forward-firing armament of two 20 mm MG FF cannon and two 7.9 mm MG 17 machine-guns located in a modified nose section partially covered by metal plates.
		The Ju 88P V1 was a modified Ju 88A-4, with a large belly fairing housing a 75 mm KwK 39 cannon firing forward and two MG 81Z machine-guns at the rear.
		In 1943, a Ju 88R-2 was experimentally fitted with the enlarged squared-off tail unit of the Ju 188, becoming the Ju 88 V58.

		In contrast, the Ju 88V5 was completed with a maximum of streamlining, and on 9 March 1939 it set a closed-circuit record by flying 1000km with 2000kg of load at an average speed of 517km/h.
		A Ju 88 had the dubious honour to be the first German victim of RAF fighters, on 9 October 1939, but nevertheless the RAF recognised it as the most formidable bomber of the time.
		This Ju 88R-1, in the RAF museum at Hendon, is one of the two surviving Ju 88s, the other being a Ju 88D-1 in the USAF museum.

		Ju 88 bombers based at Westerland on the island of Sylt in northern Germany carried out the first Luftwaffe raids against Britain.
		The Ju 88 C series also benefited from the A-4 changes, and when the Luftwaffe finally did decide on a new heavy fighter, the Ju 88 C was a powerful finished product.
		As a bomber, the Ju 88 was capable of pinpoint deliveries of heavy loads; however, despite all the modifications, dive bombing still proved too stressful for the airframe, and in 1943, tactics were changed so that bombs were delivered from a shallower 45 degree diving angle.

		In 1944 the RLM asked Junkers for the development of the combination of a small fighter aircraft, which was packed on the top of an unmanned heavy bomber aircraft.

		Flown long before World War II as a civil prototype, the JU 88 was a frantic design process led by two temporarily hired Americans well-versed in modern stress contruction.
		Though it be fair to describe the subsequent versions of JU 88's as hodge-podge lash-ups, they were structurally excellent and combined large internal fuel capacities with great load-carrying capability.
		The JU 88 night fighters (especially the properly designed G-series) were extremely formidable, bristling with radar and weapons and being responsible for destroying more Allied night bombers than all other fighters combined.

		On Feb. 19, 1947, the fuel line for the Jumo 226, inside the Ju 88 fuselage, broke as a result of excessive vibration.

	Junkers Ju 88 - Two-six seat Multi-role Fighter/Bomber
		Though it would be fair to describe practically all the subsequent versions as a hodge-podge of lash-ups, the Ju 88 was structurally excellent, combined large internal fuel capacity with great load-carrying capability, and yet was never so degraded in performance as to become seriously vulnerable as were the Dornier and Heinkel bombers.
		After splitting off completely new branches which led to the Ju 188 and 388, bomber development was directed to the streamlined S series of much higher performance, it having become accepted that the traditional Luftwaffe species of bomber was doomed if intercepted, no matter how many extra guns and crew it might carry.
		Final bomber versions included the P series of big-gun anti-armour and close-support machines, the Nbwe with flame-throwers and recoilless rocket projectors, and a large family of Mistel composite-aircraft combinations, in which the Ju 88 lower portion was a pilotless missile steered by the fighter originally mounted on top.

		This is the version with the straight hinge line (ie, no mass balance at the top of the rudder), and is appropriate for the Junkers Ju 88 A-1 and A-5 variants.
		It is particularly pleasing to see this early conversion as many of the attractive marking options on the recent AirDOC Ju 88 decals cover the Ju 88 A-1 and A-5.

		Many variants of the 88 were produced during the war years with the most bizarre version being the "Mistel" This was a Ju-88 equipped with a warhead and with an Me-109 or a Fw-190 on the top as the lead plane.

	WW2 Warbirds: the Junkers Ju 88 - Frans Bonné
		Atthat point it was decided that the Ju 88 should carry a four-man crew, improved defensive armament, and provision to act as a dive-bomber.
		This version was an improvement on the Ju 88A-4, and featured an increased armor, balloon cable cutters in the wing leading edges, and sometimes an additional 1 × 20 mm MG FF forward-firing cannon in the forward part of the undernose gondola for anti-shipping purposes.
		Based on the Ju 88A-1, it would have the same armament of the Ju 88 C-1, but the nose would be revised with less glazing, and an armored bulkhead.

	Junkers JU-88 - 1211
		The 88, called "the Three-Fingered 88" because of its long engine cowlings (which looked like radials because of the circular cooling radiators), was extremely strong and very maneuverable, but in the Battle of Britain it was shot down as easily as the other day bombers.
		Desparate defensive measures included four separate MG 15 machine guns all aimed by one man. Large numbers were built of the Ju 88A-4 with longer wings to carry the heavy loads, the bomb load being increased to 2,500 or 3,000kg.
		Despite this the 88 continued to operate from rough sod airstrips, especially on the Russian front, its big mainwheels riding over the squashy surface and then turning through 90o to lie flat in the rear of the nacelles.
