The Junkers Ju 87 or Stuka (from Sturzkampfflugzeug, "dive bomber") was German dive bomber and ground-attack aircraft. It was designed by Hermann Pohlmann and first flew in 1935. The Ju 87 made its combat debut in 1936 with the Luftwaffe's Condor Legion during the Spanish Civil War. It served the Axis forces in World War II.
Designed to function as a close support aircraft, the Ju 87 was first flown on September 17th, 1935. The Ju 87 had an innovative design that included automatic dive brakes under each wing-a feature that protected against the consequences of pilot blackout by ensuring recovery from an attack dive. Crewed by a pilot and rear gunner, the Ju 87 had twin 37mm cannons and a bomb that swung away from the propeller on an elongated U-shaped crutch. Its inverted gull wings improved pilot-to-ground visibility, gave the undercarriage a shorter height and made the Ju 87 instantly recognizable to its enemies. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
