  The book, Aircraft Profile: The Junkers JU 87 A & B (# 76) is part of a series of Profile Publications centered on chronicling the development and use of ground-breaking or interesting aircraft during the 20th century.  "Aircraft Profile: The Junkers JU 87 A & B (# 76)" tells the remarkable story of the development and use of the JU 87 A & B single engine, monoplane dive bomber used by the German Luftwaffe during their "blitzkrieg" attacks early in World War II.  The Junkers JU 87 also known as the "Stuka", was an awkward looking aircraft that was also slow and poorly armed.  That said, it was a dreaded dive-bombing weapon that was a major factor in the German Army's successful early "Blitzkrieg" attacks in Poland, Norway, France and the low-countries.  The Ju 87 was first utilized in the Spanish Civil War during the mid 1930's and it was here where the technique of dive-bombers leading an armored attack on opposing forces was first developed.  The Ju 87 was also effectively used against British shipping in the English Channel but when they were sent over Southern England during the Battle Of Britain, they suffered high losses, which ultimately forced the Luftwaffe to withdraw them from battle.  They were, however, effectively used later in the Balkans, Greek and Russian campaigns.  The major sections of "Aircraft Profile: The Junkers JU 87 A & B (# 76)" are as follows: 1) Introduction; 2) Service In Spain; 3) Production Of The Ju 87 B; 4) "Stuka" Construction; 5) The Ju 87 In W.W. II; 6) Middle East And Russia; 7) Foreign Service and 8) Luftwaffe Units And Markings.  In addition to an informative narrative, "Aircraft Profile: The Junkers JU 87 A & B (# 76)" includes the following features: 1) 32 vintage black and white photographs; 2) 9 color illustrations; 3) 7 color side aircraft profiles and 4) 1 five-view color illustration of Junkers Ju 87 B-01 of StaffelKapitan, 4th Staffel, Stukageschwader 77, France, June 1940.  This book is sure to appeal to both aviation enthusiasts and modelers alike. This book is 11 pages and is in excellent condition.  The author is J. Richard Smith.  Edition published in 1971.
