  The Junkers Ju88
But as it was shown during the period of the Second World War, it was perhaps one of the most versatile aircraft of the period.
It was first designed back in 1936 as a "Schnellbomber" a fast daylight bomber and surprisingly had its first flight in that same year and was soon to display its superior performance.
With the demise of Professor Junkers, the engineers saw the potential of this fast medium bomber and felt that still improvements could be made that Germany could produce an outstanding aircraft.

  Historicity » The short but glorious reign of the schnellbomber
The Ju 88 was an effort to meet the German ideal for combat aircraft: the schnellbomber, a fast, agile plane that combined the speed and manuverability of a fighter with the heavy armament and payload of a bomber.
The Battle of Britain, however, was where they were really put to the test–they would be facing a prepared foe armed with capable aircraft.
By the end of that hard-fought campaign, it was clear that the schnellbomber concept didn’t work as well in reality as it did in theory.

In die traditionell beanspruchte Domäne der schnellen Kampfflugzeuge konnte Arado wieder entscheidend vorstoßen, nachdem mit dem ab Mitte 1943 erprobten Strahlaufklärer Ar 234 spektakuläre Einsatzerfolge erzielt wurden.
Das Amt veranlaßte eine sofortige Umrüstung der Ar 234 zum Schnellbomber und Nachtjäger.
Nach dem forcierten Bau des zweistrahligen Schnellbombers lief noch vor Kriegsende die Vorserie einer vierstrahligen Bomber-, Nachtjäger- und Zerstörerversion an.

Meistens handelte es sich um mehrsitzige, zweimotorige, schwer bewaffnete und schwer gepanzerte Maschinen, die auch in anderen Einsatzrollen eingesetzt wurden (Schnellbomber, Tiefangriffsflugzeug, Torpedobomber, etc.).
Landehaken, stabile Fahrwerke und die Fortschritte in der Avionik liessen eine ganz eigene Klasse von Jagdflugzeugen entstehen.
Bei landgestutzten Flugzeugen fuhrte erst die Entwicklung von schnellen Bombern in Eindecker-Auslegung zur Entwicklung von schnellen Eindecker-Jagern, die in der Lage sein sollten, auch moderne Schnellbomber abzufangen.

 1/48 Dragon ME-262a2a/u2 Bomber
This was an experimental version of the ME-262, created in response to Hitler's demands for a "Schnellbomber." The Revi gunsight of the initial 262's did not help much with accurate bombing - so these two were created with a second crewman and a glass "bomber" nose.
Two cannons were deleted, and the profile of the 262 was drastically changed.
If you're patient, and are willing to do some work (this is not a "shake together" kit) you'll end up with a good model of an unusual ME-262 variant.

In this volume, the author have focused on the single seat fighter and its adaptation as a "schnellbomber".
While the British and Germans were unknowingly competing to develop jet engine technology, the British developed the centrifugal flow engine which was short and wide.

The design was successful, and the plane was looked upon as the first example of the schnellbomber concept: bombers built to be fast enough to outrun fighters.
For a time it was felt that bombers would retain their speed advantage over fighters due to their extra power, leading many to assume that the bomber will always get through.
Two L and one M versions were built as prototypes, both with another MG15 in the nose.

While the potential "merit" of this decision has been the subject of debate for decades, it was de facto softened to a requirement that every production Me 262 have the ability to be easily field-modified to carry bombs.
In order to develop tactics for this revolutionary aircraft, a new test unit was required.
Although overshadowed by the more romantic image of her kin struggling valiantly to defend the skies over the Fatherland, the Me 262A-2’s use in the schnellbomber role was equally widespread.

Special Luftwaffe units formed to fight the Mosquito attacks were rather unsuccessful, and the Luftwaffe considered the Mosquito a superior implementation of their own "Schnellbomber" concept.

The Junkers Ju88 was without question the most versatile aircraft in the Luftwaffe stable during the Second World War.
From its origins as a specification for a high speed three seat bomber or "Schnellbomber", the airframe spawned a plethora of variants that were used in roles as diverse as strategic bombing, dive bombing, torpedo bombing, reconnaissance, close air support, bomber interception, night fighting and bomber and naval escort and as a pilot-less missile.
The subject of countless revisions, it remained in service thought the end of the war.

The Messerschmitt Me 410 Hornisse ("Hornet") was a Luftwaffe heavy fighter and Schnellbomber of World War II developed from the badly flawed Me 210.
Essentially a straightforward development of that type, the 210 had garnered such a bad reputation that it was renamed the Me 410 to avoid disdain.
