WINGS OF THE BLACK CROSS SPECIAL NUMBER TWO JUNKERS JU 87 STUKA
Book Type: S.O by Mark Proulx, 50 pages The latest entrant in the Wings of the Black Cross series from Eagle Editions is actually the second in a new series of specials. Written my long-time LSP member Mark Proulx, and entitled Junkers Ju 87 Stuka, this title takes a look at the camouflage and markings employed by this iconic dive bomber, supported by some very nice profile artwork by Steve Deisley. The book is essentially a captioned photo essay, and its concise 48 pages cover all variants that saw service, from the ungainly-looking pre-war Ju 87A (Luftwaffe only) to the tank-busting late-war Ju 87G. Things kick off with a preface, followed by a two-page précis on the history of the type. We are then treated to a brief discussion of the colours and markings worn by the Ju 87 during its service career. The rest of the content is arranged chronologically by variant, and many of the photos appear to be unfamiliar, and possibly new to print. In fact, Proulx cites in the preface that many are unpublished from his own collection, making the book worth seeking out on that point alone. The 10 colour profiles are excellent, bringing some of the included photos to life.
