From the publisher: This enthralling pictorial guide reveals the formidable power of one of the most feared warplanes of all time. The Ju 87 Stuka dominated the opening campaigns of World War II. It was a primary weapon of German Blitzkrieg tactics and the concept of lightning warfare. Together with the panzer, it transformed air and land warfare, with countries falling in days and weeks, rather than after campaigns lasting years.
With more than 100 photographs and detailed commentary, Stukas over the Mediterranean examines the role of German and Italian Ju 87s in such diverse campaigns as the attack on Yugoslavia, the battle for Crete and operations by the night flying squadrons.

FSM says: If you like Stukas, you’ll like this book. The photos, including more than a dozen rare wartime color images, show the German dive-bomber in a variety of settings in the Mediterranean and North Africa. Diverse camouflage and marking are in evidence including several Italian versions and some in Allied service. The quality of the images varies — many appear to have been taken by servicemen rather than professional photographers —  but details are visible and detailed captions are provided.
