Because of losses in 1943 the "Night Attacker" version of the Ju 87 was developed. Used mainly on the Eastern front, these bombers needed fighter support to be successful. JU - 87D's had 1,500 hp engines, wing mounted machine guns and various cannons. This 2 seat dive bomber attained a max speed of 260 mph and had a range of 1,000 miles. 4,000 Ibs of bombs is the standard load of this bomber.
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 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
