	Junkers Ju 87 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Junkers Ju 87 or Stuka was the best known Sturzkampfflugzeug (German dive bomber) in World War II, instantly recognisable by its inverted gull wings, fixed undercarriage and infamous wailing siren.
		A Ju 87G-2, captured by British troops in Germany in 1945, is displayed in the RAF Museum in London.
		The Sinsheim Auto and Technik Museum displays the remains of an aircraft that crashed near Saint-Tropez in 1944 and was raised from the sea-bed in 1989.

	Junkers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Unfortunately for Junkers, both the company and the man, the Nazi party came to power in Germany in 1932 and all German aviation development was shifted away from long-range civil aircraft types.
		Junkers then adapated the Ju 89 to passenger use, introducing the Junkers Ju 90, one of the first planes specifically designed for scheduled trans-Atlantic flights to the US.
		Prior to WWII, it is noted that the Junkers Ju 52 was utilized in the Spanish Civil War, where it took part in the Condor Legion's destructive raids on Durango and Guernica in 1937 which illustrated to the world - for the first time - the destructive potential and horror of strategic bombing.

	Junkers Ju 188
		The Ju 188 Rächer was a high-performance light bomber from Junkers, the planned follow-on to the famed Ju 88[?] with better performance and payload.
		The Ju 188 was designed to be fitted with either the 1,775hp Junkers Jumo 213[?]E or 1,700hp BMW 801G engines without any changes to the airframe.
		The Ju 188C would be the next model in line, equipped with a new tail-mounted remotely-controlled turret with two 13mm MG 131 machine guns.

		The Ju 87A did not see combat, with the exception of three aircraft which were sent to Spain during the civil war, but it was important in the development of the automatic bombing system of the Ju 87.
		The attacks of the Stukas concentrated mainly on the allied attacks to recapture Narvik and Trondheim by landings at Harstad, Namson and Andalsnes.
		But the contribution of the Ju 87 to the attack on Britain was brief, and in fact mainly limited to the attacks on shipping in the channel, during the initial stages.

	The Junkers Ju-87 Stuka
		The Luftwaffe's enthusiasm for the Stuka increased accordingly.
		The Stuka was part of the new "Blitzkrieg (Lightning War)" tactics developed by German generals such as Heinz Guderian: fast-moving armored columns would move rapidly through enemy defenses, communicating with Stukas over radios for the removal of obstacles to the advance.
		By 1943 the Stuka was clearly on the defensive on all fronts, unable to survive in the face of effective fighter opposition.

	Junkers Ju 87G-2 Stuka
		Ju 87 Stukas were painted in normal RLM 70/71/65 Luftwaffe bomber scheme which was used throughout the war.
		Luftwaffe chose the Junkers Ju 87 primarily of its ability to dive at 90 degrees and to resist a force of 6G.
		If the Ju 87 had to operate from poor airfields, such as found at the Eastern front, the wheel spats were often removed because they tended to get clogged with mud.

	Junkers Ju 87 Stuka model airplane
		The reputation of the Junkers Ju 87 Stuka (dive-bomber) was made during the Polish campaign in close-support operations across Europe.
		Ju 87s were deployed extensively on the Eastern Front, initially with great success; but by 1943 the planes were suffering such severe losses by daylight that they were switched to a night assault role.
		The Junkers Ju 87D-1 was powered by one 1,410-hp Junkers Jumo 211J-1 12-cylinder inverted-Vee piston engine, giving the airplane a maximum speed of 255 mph at 12,600 feet, service ceiling of 23,915 feet, and a maximum range of 954 miles.

	Stof's Stuka Page
		However, during the battle of Britain, the Luftwaffe realized how vulnerable the Stuka was when air superiority had not yet been achieved; for a Hurricane or Spitfire pilot, the Stukas were nothing but slow and easy targets, and the Ju 87s had to be withdrawn from operation over British ground because of heavy losses.
		The Ju 87C, derived from the Ju 87B, was meant to fly from the Graf Zeppelin aircraft carrier; it therefore had folding wings, a jettisonable landing gear in case of emergency, and could carry external fuel tanks.
		The Ju 87R ("R" for Reichweite, meaning "range") was a long-range version of the Ju 87B, with new wing fuel tanks and the ability to carry external tanks.

	Junkers Ju 87 Stuka
		'Stuka' or 'Sturzkampfflugzeug' was the general German terminology for dive-bombers, but the Ju 87 with its inverted gull wing, and fixed-undercarriage was the most famous and feared of all.
		The Ju 87 was ugly, sturdy, accurate, but very vulnerable to enemy fighters; it's use demanded air superiority.
		On the eastern front the last Ju 87 versions were employed as anti-tank aircraft with underwing 37mm guns.

	Italeri 1/72 Ju-87 D-5 Stuka
		The famous Junkers Ju-87 Stuka is well known for its operation during the early days of World War II.
		The screaming, dive-bombing Stuka was a major factor in the success of the early Blitzkrieg operations, where aerial opposition did not exist.
		The Dora was the most produced version of the Stuka, but it is not as well known because it fought a largely defensive battle and was outclassed from the start.

	Junkers Ju 87 Stuka
		The Junkers Ju 87 or Stuka was the most famous Sturzkampfflugzeug (German dive bomber) on World War II, instantly recognisable by its inverted gull-wings and fixed undercarriage.
		The Stuka's design included some innovative features, including an automatic pull-up system to ensure that the plane recovered from its attack dive even if the pilot fled out from the high acceleration, and wind-powered sirens on the wheel covers that wailed during dives to scare its victims.
		The Stuka was sturdy, accurate, and very effective, but also slow, unmaneuverable, underarmed, and vulnerable to enemy fighters.

	::Junkers 87::
		The Junkers 87 first saw action in the Blitzkrieg attack on Poland in September 1939.
		In the initial phases of the war, the Stuka proved to be extremely effective at pin point bombing of a target.
		In the Battle of Britain, the 255 mph (410 km/h) Stuka was no match for the Spitfire or Hurricane and suffered so many losses that it was withdrawn from campaigns in Western Europe for the rest of the war.

	The Junkers Ju87 Stuka
		The first known aircraft designed for the purpose of dive bombing was the Junkers K47 which was being developed during the mid 1920's, and which flew for the first time in March 1928.
		Where the Hs123 was a biplane, the Ju87, developed from the K47 was a single engined monoplane that differed from all previous Junkers aircraft in that it did not have the corrugated ribbed metal stressed skin appearance.
		Looking very similar to the "Stuka' of the 1940's, the prototype had a fixed undercarriage and the gull-wing appearance and was powered by a Rolls-Royce Kestrel power plant and made its first flight in May 1935.

	WW2 Warbirds: the Junkers Ju 87 Stuka - Frans Bonné
		The Ju 87 V2 was already nearing completion at the time of the crash of the V1, but was halted to resolve the cause of the crash.
		The result that was based on the Ju 87B, the Ju 87C, had manually folded outer wings, catapult attachments, an arrestor hook, flotation equipment, and a jettisonable landing gear in case the aircraft had to ditch into the sea.
		The latter was chosen, and the resulting Ju 87D-5 had extended outer wings, resulting in a wing span of 49 ft 2.5 inch (15,00 m) with an aspect ratio of 6,67 and an area of 362.76 sq ft (33,70 m²).

		One of the most feared aircraft in history and when used in the right conditions one of the most accomplished the JU 87 was key to the German Blitzkrieg in World War II.
		Often called the Stuka although this is just an abbreviation for any kind of dive bomber in German, the JU 87 could be seen in their hundreds attacking everything from civilians to enemy tanks and warships as the German blitzkrieg rolled across Europe.
		In 1937 three Stuka's were sent to the Legion Kondor in Spain were their impressive accuracy in dive bombing became clear.

		The Stuka was, with the Douglas SBD "Dauntless", one of the two most successful designed-for-the-purposed dive bombers of the war.
		The result was that Junkers undertook a program to clean up the ungainly-looking airframe aerodynamically, resulting in the Ju-87D series, which appeared that summer.
		The angular ugliness of the Stuka is such it looks exactly like what it was: a bird of prey for a regime of death.

		The Ju 87 Stuka was the most feared weapon in the German arsenal in the first year of World War 2, the Luftwaffe using it to deadly effect during the Blitzkrieg between September 1939 and June 1940.
		Although vulnerable to the enemy fighters due to its moderate speed in level flight and general lack of manoeuvrability, the Ju 87 nevertheless soon came to symbolise the might of Nazi Germany as the mere handful of Stukageschwader supporting the Wehrmacht rampaging out of the Fatherland took a heavy toll of the Allied forces.
