Screaming In From Above The Junkers Ju87 Stuka dive bomber was developed in 1934 and scenes of them diving down on their targets became synonymous with the German Blitzkrieg. Of the many variants which were produced, the Ju87 B was the mainstay of the Lufwaffe in the early years of WWII. The rugged aircraft featured inverted gull wings and fixed landing gear and was powered by a 1,200hp Junkers Jumo 211D engine. It could precisely deliver a maximum bomb load of 1,000kg in a 90-degree dive, during which its sirens would blare to terrify the Allied troops below. Although they suffered heavy losses during the Battle of Britain, they continued to be used to good effect in other theaters such as the Mediterranean, Russia, and the Balkans. |
