An illustrated account of the clashes between RAF Fighter Commandâs Hurricane and Spitfire and the Luftwaffeâs Ju 87 Stuka in the skies over France, the Channel and southern England.

The story of the Luftwaffeâs Ju 87 Stuka and its use against British targets in 1940 has been clouded by the aircraftâs â" somewhat unfair â" reputation as âfighter fodderâ for the RAFâs Hurricanes, Spitfires and turret-armed Defiants. In actuality, it was a formidable weapon when employed properly and remained in operational use for the entirety of World War 2, achieving iconic status through its engagements at Dunkirk and the Battle of Britain.

Aviation expert Andy Saunders addresses the misconceptions surrounding the Ju 87 with this fresh appraisal of its famous actions in the skies over France, the Channel and southern England. Enhanced by first-hand accounts, rare photographs and newly commissioned artwork and diagrams, the story unfolds to reveal how the Stuka defended itself against on oncoming fighters and how, in turn, RAF pilots learned to shoot the aircraft down.
