The Junkers Ju 87 was a two seater German ground attack aircraft. It earned the name Stuka from the German word Sturzkampfflugzeug meaning dive bomber.Designed by Hermann Pohlmann,it first flew in combat during the Spanish Civil War in 1936.Between1938 and 1944 6500 Ju 87s were made.Stg.77,along with Stab.111,participated in the August 1940 offensive where they were centred on the northern coast of France, suitably positioned for an attack against England .Our model represents the Ju.87 Stuka as it appeared during this time. 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.
