JunkersJu 87A Stuka. Prior to the Second World War, the Germans were experimenting with how to increase the accuracy of air bombing attacks. One solution was to use dive attacks, which greatly increased the chance of hitting the desired targets. By the mid-30s, a number of German aircraft manufacturing companies were experimenting with planes Wedon't know yet if there WERE any operational pilots I've only seen B&W pics of the captured repainted Stukas by marriage, flew them in the delta until a serious ear infection restricted him to lower altitude flying. Still flying a Ju87 over ones own lines must have been a bit risky as most gunners identify a plane by silhouette rather Still at altitudes of 18,000–20,000 ft (5,500–6,100 m) and at 3,000 ft (910 m) There are currently some 50 Spitfires flying today, a number that waxes and wanes as one aircraft is restored to airworthy condition and another crashes or retires for further restoration. A growing number of companies, based in England, France, Australia ThroughJune and July, Stukas were primarily engaged in targeted Channel convoys. During July 3-4, 90 Stukas of StG 2 attacked a convoy traveling through the Channel, sinking three ships totaling 10,000 tons without loss. Stukas attacking shipping operated with escort, but RAF fighters began making their presence known in July. Oneof the reasons that Fighter Command commander-in-chief Dowding was so worried about squadron strength dipping to 75 per cent was because he feared it would mean putting too much strain on his pilots. The Luftwaffe command had no such concerns, forcing their aircrew to fly and fly and keep flying. Unlike in Fighter Command, any kind Thereare two intact Stukas, a Ju87R-2 (WkNmr 5954) at the Chicago Museum of Science and a Ju87G-2 (WkNmr 494083) at the RAF Museum in London. Informative: 1 --List reactions Sep 11, 2018 I had no idea there were so few Stuka's left in flying condition or even just intact. I was hoping our local aero museum might get one Builtby de Havilland Hatfield as prototype. First Mosquito built and had first flight on 25 November 1940. Owned by W. J. S. Baird of Hatfield from 1946 to 1959. Acquired by de Havilland Museum in 1959. The aircraft is now on display after its £41,000 restoration.
