Oh god I'm tired...

Oh well, I cant be stuffed doin' the V2 tonight so I'll just do the Jukers 88, Another plane used in the Battle of Britain...

Junkers 88

The Ju-88 was the most versatile aircraft in the Luftwaffes armoury for the entire war, serving as a level bomber, dive-bomber, and night-fighter, as well as carrying out valuable reconaissance duties. It was use by the Luftwaffe as a medium bomber in the Battle of Britain; but neither speed nor its comparatively high number of defending machine-guns was adequate protection from the fire-power of Spitfires and Hurricanes.

Bomb Load:5,510lb
Armament: 6 X 7.9mm MG's
Max Speed: 292mph

-Winston Churchill, Summer 1940
