Photographic books of real planes don't always make for good modellers books too, but this one does, offering lots of close up detail shots.
This book can be recommended to anyone with an interest in World War II, the Luftwaffe in general, or the Ju88 in particular...you will not be disappointed!

IPMS Magazine

The great virtue of these books is that they offer an all-around understanding of the aircraft, from their design and development to their employment in specific campaigns, with fascinating close-ups on the actual pilots and air crew who flew them. By the time I was finished reading, the history had come alive in my imagination as I could put myself in the shoes of those who were there.

SCHOPENHAUER'S WORKSHOP

The author is a respected authority on Luftwaffe history, and his knowledge shines through in this publication.

FlyPast, January 2018

In all, this results in an excellent reference book without the usual mass of statistics and charts you get in standard histories. You get to see the plane as it was during operations and it is fortunate for us that so many good images are presented. This is a boon for not only the enthusiast but also for the modeler. It is part of a very good series and what is even better is that these books are at a good price.

I very much enjoyed reading this one and as such, have no problem recommending it to you.

Modeling Madness

In this selection of unrivalled images collected over many years, and now part of Frontline's new War in the Air series, the operations of this famous aircraft are portrayed and brought to life.

Hiya Bucks Magazine

This new addition to the very popular Air War Archive series follows the established pattern of concise text, captions, extended captions and lavish illustration. The subject was one of the most important German aircraft of WWII but one that is difficult to place within the many different aircraft types – Very Highly Recommended.

References on the Junkers Ju 88 are almost as prolific as the roles undertaken by this twin-engined aircraft, but Chris Goss' pictorial ensemble still manages to bring something new. After a brief introduction to the type and its history, the focus shifts to period photographs, all with highly detailed captions. As well as basic unit and airframe information, the majority provide crew details, adding a very human touch. Further interest is generated by the mini-profiles of certain crew members, not all of whom are immediately recognisable. Modellers will find the interior shots useful in building an early Ju 88 (this volume covers mainly the A-1/4/5 variants. although there is the occasional D-version), and there's inspiration galore for diorama builders. There are three sections, which will aid modellers selecting the photos best suited to their projects; Fall of France, and Battle of Britain, The Blitz and Training. It's the fine detail that impresses most, from views of the instrument panel to airframe markings commemorating the awarding of medals to crew members.

Airfix Model World, December 2017

It was always difficult trying to decide which Airfix aeroplane kit to buy with my pocket money - British or German? Chris Goss' superb book on the Junkers JU88 reveals it as one of the most iconic and versatile of the Luftwaffe's aircraft. Brilliantly researched and presented.

Books Monthly

Another title from Frontline Books in their Air War Archive series of photo histories and I think the best collection of photos of the Junkers Ju 88 I can recall seeing...

As I said at the outset, an excellent set of archive photos showing the Ju 88 in service during the first half of the war.
