The German Ju87 Stuka was the epitome of fear felt towards the German Luftwaffe. Although slow and under armed, the Junkers Stuka was one of the most feared light dive-bomber primarily because of a definitive gut wrenching siren whine as it swooped in to attack. Although both the Japanese Military and the U.S. Military developed dive bombers in WWII, only the Junkers Stuka was a successful land based dive bomber.
Designed as a close support aircraft, the Ju 87 was first flown in 1935. Armed with twin 37mm cannons, the Ju 87 series was crewed by a pilot and a rear-gunner. An elongated U-shaped crutch located under the fuselage was designed to swing the bomb out of the way of the propeller. The design included several innovative features such as automatic dive brakes under both wings that ensured recovery from an attack dive even if the pilot blacked out during the 6 g pullout. The shape of the inverted gull wings improved pilot-to-ground visibility and also provided shorter undercarriage height.© Copyright 2003-2009 The Flying Mule, Inc.
