Junkers Ju 88G-1

Night-fighter version of the Ju 88. Armed with four 20mm cannon in ventral tray and one 13mm machine gun in rear cockpit. Powered by two BMW 801 radial engines(1677 hp each) it could hit 342 mph and could stay airborne for up to 4 hours. The Ju 88 was probably one of the most versatile aircraft of the second world war and was used as a tactical, torpedo and dive bomber and as a heavy fighter and night fighter. The type was flying for the duration of the war in Europe and was constantly being refined, right up to VE-day. I always thought that the great big radar array on the nose made them look extra scary
