The Junkers Ju 87, commonly known as the "Stuka," was a German dive bomber used during World War II. It was designed in the 1930s and became famous for its distinctive gull wings and the ability to deliver precision bombing attacks. The aircraft was equipped with a powerful engine and could carry a variety of bombs, making it effective in ground support roles. The Stuka was notable for its dive-bombing technique, which involved steep descents to accurately strike targets. Its effectiveness was enhanced by the Jericho Trumpet, a siren that created a terrifying sound during dives. The Junkers Ju 87 played a significant role in early German military campaigns, particularly during the Battle of Britain.
