But the contribution of the Ju 87 to the attack on Britain was brief, and in fact mainly limited to the attacks on shipping in the channel, during the initial stages.

The Junkers Ju 88 was a WW2 Luftwaffe twin-engine multi-role aircraft.
All combat-ready Ju 88s (some 133), were pressed into the Blitzkrieg, but very high combat losses and accidents forced a quick withdrawal from action to re-train crews to fly this very high performance beast.
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.
