Historical Background
The Junkers Ju 87 Stuka was a two-seat dive-bomber and ground-attack aircraft. First flown in 1935, it saw combat in 1936 with the Condor Legion during the Spanish Civil War. Recognisable by its inverted gull wings and fixed landing gear, the Stuka incorporated innovative automatic pull-up dive brakes to aid recovery from steep attack dives. It became a symbol of early-war Blitzkrieg tactics, providing air support to Wehrmacht Panzer divisions, and later served with the Luftwaffe during the Battle of Britain, where it faced stronger opposition from modern fighters such as the Hurricane and Spitfire.

The aircraft was easily recognizable by its inverted gull wings and fixed landing gears. The Stuka's design included several innovative features, including automatic pull-up dive brakes under both wings to ensure that the plane recovered from its attack dive even if the pilot blacked out from the acceleration. It became soon the icon of the German “Blitzkrieg” during the first stages of the Second World War providing the air support to the Wehrmacht Panzer Divisions. It was used by Luftwaffe during the Battle of Britain where it shown its weaknesses compared to the faster and well-armed modern fighters as Hurricane and Spitfire.
