EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the historic moment of the Junkers Ju-88V-1 prototype's inaugural flight on a crisp December day in 1936. The Junkers Ju-88V-1, registration number D-ISAB, was a groundbreaking design for the German Luftwaffe, marking the beginning of the Ju-88's illustrious military career. As Germany's second major twin-engined multirole combat aircraft, the Ju-88 was intended to serve as a fast bomber, or Schnellbomber, and later evolved into a versatile platform for various roles, including night fighter, maritime reconnaissance, and ground-attack missions. During this initial flight test trial, the Ju-88V-1, powered by two Jumo 211A engines, took to the skies above Germany for the first time. The aircraft, with its distinctive twin-boom configuration and enclosed cockpit, displayed impressive agility and handling, setting the stage for further development and refinement. The Ju-88V-1 prototype's introduction marked a significant milestone in the evolution of German military aviation during the 1930s. This photograph is an essential piece of history, providing a glimpse into the development of a versatile and influential aircraft that would play a pivotal role in the Second World War. This image, from the extensive archives of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a unique perspective on a pivotal moment in aviation history. The Ju-88V-1 prototype's first flight represents a critical step forward in the design and implementation of advanced military aircraft, shaping the future of aerial warfare for years to come.
