The Junkers Ju 87 in the Battle of Britain

The Stuka is the best-known German aircraft of the Second World War, having left an enduring impression with its angular silhouette and its near-vertical dives.

This book, which focuses on Stuka operations during the Battle of Britain, corrects a widely repeated misconception: no, the Stuka did not suffer such heavy losses that it was withdrawn from service in the West. If it ceased to take part in the Battle of Britain after mid-August 1940, it was simply because it was being held in reserve for the ground fighting that was to follow the German landings of Operation Zeelöwe.

This book describes every one of the Stuka attacks over the English Channel and England, with numerous eyewitness accounts and statistics.

Often these were simply open tourers fitted with machine gun mountings, like...
