 The Ju 88 is a conventional twin-engined light bomber, with the engines mounted in nacelles on each wing. The aircraft has a crew of three, being a pilot, bombardier and radio operator/rear gunner. The aircraft's armament was sparse, consisting of just three 7.92 mm machine guns; this was steadily improved in later Ju 88 variants. The A-1 could carry a maximum bomb load of 1,000 kilograms in standard load, though heavier loads could be carried with modifications.<ref name=":0" />
 === Operational history ===
-The Ju 88 A-1 started entering service with the Luftwaffe in 1939; 69 aircraft were built that year.<ref name=":1" /> The aircraft saw its first combat attacking British shipping in the fall of 1939.<ref name=":1" /> The aircraft served extensively in the Battle of Britain as the main Luftwaffe bomber, and fulfilled the same role in Operation Barbarossa, the attempted German invasion of the USSR. By that point in time, it was complemented by more advanced variants of the Ju 88 such as the Ju 88 A-4.

By that point in time, it was complemented by more advanced variants of the Ju 88 such as the Ju 88 A-4.
 During its time in service, it became highly apparent that the Ju 88 A-1 was not well suited to its task. Namely, the aircraft wasn't adequately armed, with just three defensive machine guns.<ref name=":1" /> Thus, the later Ju 88 A-4 variant introduced a heavier defensive armament of five 7.92 mm machine guns; later derivatives such as the Ju 188 featured even more defensive armament.<ref name=":1" /> As well, the aircraft experienced structural strength issues, which prevented it from entering fast dives without breaking up. This was also remedied by the later Ju 88 A-4.<ref name=":1" /> Despite its flaws, the Ju 88 was a versatile, reliable aircraft and over 15,000 aircraft were built before the end of the war.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" />

-The Junkers Ju 88 A-1 was the first variant of the famous Junkers Ju 88 bomber. After the failure of the [[Junker Ju 86|B3C]], the Junkers team was tasked to make a new bomber able to go faster than the Dornier Do 17 and Heinkel He 111, and even fighters, a "schnell bomber" (fast bomber)!  The prototypes succeeded in its design requirement, being faster than any fighter then in service, but once all the military equipment was added the it was not much faster than what it was meant to replace. Regardless, it had great promise and with more changes proved to be a capable and adaptable warplane. Combat results with the short wing A-1 were below expectations, only 133 units being built before major upgrade in the long time A-4 was introduced.  All surviving A-1 were upgraded to the A-5 long wing standard.  Amazingly an Ju 88 A-1 exists today, being found in a fresh water late in very good condition, behind fully restored.
