Description
The Junkers Ju88 is a German World War II Luftwaffe twin-engined multirole combat aircraft. Junkers Aircraft and Motor Works (JFM) designed the plane in the mid-1930s as a so-called Schnellbomber (“fast bomber”) that would be too fast for fighters of its era to intercept. It suffered from technical problems during its development and early operational periods but became one of the most versatile combat aircraft of the war. Like a number of other Luftwaffe bombers, it served as a bomber, dive bomber, night fighter, torpedo bomber, reconnaissance aircraft, heavy fighter and at the end of the war, as a flying bomb.
Made of aluminum, this is a FANTASTIC piece. Though it features some slight scratches, marks, and bends, it is VERY SOLID otherwise. Some slight corrosion, however all information is CLEARLY legible. This would have been mounted in the cockpit for easy reference. Still retains the original rivets. A VERY RARE item that would make a FANTASTIC addition to any collection or display!
