Summary
The Junkers 87 Stuka was an iconic weapon of World War Two and an aircraft name that was, and still is, instantly recognized worldwide. Its roles in Poland and the Battles of France and the Low Countries are almost legendary, but in the UK its import during the Battle of Britain is one that has never been covered in any specific detail.
Here, Andy Saunders takes a critical look at every operation by Ju87s against British targets in 1940 - including those on land and at sea. Each raid is charted, covering all aspects of the attacks including participants, defending RAF fighters and those on the receiving end. Myth and reality and truth and legend are all examined and analyzed in this new book, which adds to our knowledge of one of the most significant periods in the whole of British history.

Meticulous history, excellent narrator
A very detailed account of the subject. The narrator has an engaging manner and pronounces the German expertly.

Interesting version from the Germman side
A very informative view of the air War from the Luftwaffe and RAF, during the 1940's. The Stuka dive bombing techniques were especially descriptive.

Unbiased and honest appraisal of the Stuka
This book starts a little slowly but builds content as it goes. It's also quite bi-partisan and doesn't take sides, just presents Pilot's experiences and published in 2018 presents a very neutral and I suspect very accurate appraisal of the Stuka's abilities.
Very interesting.

Interesting, but ...
This book offers information about interesting and mostly unknown (or infested by myths) part of Battle of Britain. The same time, I found it a bit disappointing, as a big part of it is consisted of letters or the copies of reports rather than author's own writing - sometimes it is even far from the "Stukas subject".
I planned to rate it lower but I appreciate that this subject was approached, as well as I found there some interesting information about the first stage of BofB, I knew very little of, before.

Only really for aviation buffs
This is a detailed account of the Stuka's role in the Battle of Britain. It's impartial, giving both the British and German views and detailing fairly the Stuka's strengths as well as its weaknesses. The writing is a little plodding with too much emphasis on squadron numbers and other details. There is nothing about the design and early development of the Stuka which should have warranted at least a chapter. The conclusion that the Stuka's were tactically withdrawn, rather than defeated is interesting and well argued.

Very interesting read
As someone with a reasonable knowledge of the Battle of Britain, this work focused in detail on one aspect and I found it very informative and I learned some new facts - certainly a different viewpoint from the established narrative.
Narrator was very good too.

Very interesting and informative
I learned a lot about an aspect of WW2 I'd not previously come across, and about this iconic aircraft. Well-written, solidly factual and delivered with a good narration.

insight into the Ju87
interesting book on the often over looked part that the Ju87 dive bomber played in the battle of Britain.
