Here's the product information:
No other country outside of Germany has gained as much notoriety in the use of this aircraft as did the Italians. Seeing that the number of Ju 87s available could not reach the prescribed numbers needed to put into effect the tactics of the Luftwaffe, the Italians developed the skip bombing technique well before its use in the Pacific war. This book covers the full history of this well known German dive bomber in use by the Regia Aeronautica. The book consists of 72 pages with 16 very attractive colour profiles by Marco Gueli, some 70+ photographs (many of which never seen before) and a very comprehensive text by Fabrizio Becchetti. Constructional details are illustrated as found in the original Instruction Manual. The text is bilingual (Italian-English).
