Stukas were a fearful weapon during the war. Although they were not a match for fighters, their dive bombing capabilities were put to good use. A top stuka pilot, who's name escapes me, destroyed over 200 tanks, etc. etc. and was actually shot down three times. The stuka had intakes on the landing gear that whistled and screamed while diving. Another unique feature was that the stuka had a mechanism that forced the plane to pull out of a dive at a certain altitude. Very good photo.

Here is a picture of the REAL JU-87 just to clear up your comfusion on this matter HORRIDO......This should help you when you make redickuless false claims about planes. Mike R

Those Stukas look factory fresh. I wonder what campaign/year this is. There's B's so it's early.

Almost looks like a Japanese meatball there on the fuselage.
