Historical Inspiration
The JU 87 Stuka shocked early WWII battlefields with its devastating dive-bombing tactics. First trialled during the Spanish Civil War, it evolved through several design changes to become a key Luftwaffe weapon in the early 1940s. It served on multiple fronts—from anti-tank missions on the Russian front to operations in North Africa, Malta raids, and the Italian campaigns—and, alongside the Douglas Dauntless, stood out as one of the only mass-produced dive bombers of the war.

Secured by Stripe
Early in World War II, the world was stunned by the effective dive bombing tactics of the JU 87 Stuka. First tested in the Spanish Civil War, it went through considerable design changes before emerging as the formidable bomber of the early 40's. For two years, this plane was one of the most successful weapons of the Luftwaffe and was used to spearhead the German drives into enemy territory. The JU 87 saw much service on the Russian front as an anti-tank weapon and was also used in the African desert on the Malta raids and in the Italian campaigns. Although considered obsolete within two years after the beginning of the WWII, the JU 87 went on to see action until the end of the war and enjoyed the distinction of being, besides the American Douglas Dauntless, the only mass-produced dive bomber of WWII.
