The four-man German crew bailed out of their stricken bomber on parachutes. Field modifications improving the cockpit armor and installing heavier armament for the rear defensive machine gun position (single MG 15’s were replaced with a twin MG 81 mount) helped, but the Ju 88 came into its own with the introduction of the A-4 version during the Battle of Britain, which was fitted with more powerful Junkers Jumo 211J The Junkers Ju 87 Stuka was the aircraft that made the conquest of Netherlands, Norway, France, and Belgium an easy thing for the Axis forces back in 1940. Still, due to lack of firepower, it could not endure the brunt of the Battle of Britain and suffered heavy losses. The Junkers Ju 87 Stuka was retired after World War II ended with the loss The Ju 88 A-4 was a multirole combat aircraft with a twin engine configuration, this specific variant was placed under Finnish service in 1943. The A-4 variant was a very much needed improvement, longer wingspan, redesigned wingtips, stronger defensive armament, a more powerful engine, external bomb racks and reinforced undercarriage. Originally known as Ju 88 V44, this airframe was later designated Ju 188 V1. In October 1942, the program was given the go-ahead to start planning for production. A second prototype was delivered in January, which moved the outer bomb shackles to a position inboard of the engines. 21 August 1940: 1./KG54 Junkers Ju 88 A-1. Shot down by 2 Spitfires (flown by Sqdn Ldr J.S. O’Brien and Pilot Officer R.F.T. “Bob” Doe) of No.234 Squadron, during an armed reconnaissance over southern England. Jettisoned its bombs but crashed in flames and burned out at King’s Somborne at about 2.15 p.m. The Junkers Ju 188 was a German Luftwaffe high-performance medium bomber built during World War II, the planned follow-on to the famed Ju 88 with better performance and payload. It was produced only in limited numbers, due both to the presence of improved versions of the Ju 88, as well as the deteriorating war condition and the resulting focus on fighter production. In 1936, Junkers submitted qiSDJ.
