The Junkers Ju 87 or Stuka, a German ground-attack aircraft, was designed by Hermann Pohlmann and first flew in 1935. It made its combat debut in 1936 as part of the Luftwaffe's Condor Legion during the Spanish Civil War. The Stuka is easily recognizable due to its inverted gull wings, fixed spatted undercarriage, and its infamous Jericho-Trompete siren. The aircraft's design includes several innovative features, such as automatic pull-up dive brakes under both wings. This ensured that the Stuka recovered from its attack dive even if the pilot blacked out due to high acceleration. Although sturdy, accurate, and effective, the Ju 87 was vulnerable to modern fighter aircraft, similar to many other dive bombers of the war. Its flaws became apparent during the Battle of Britain; poor maneuverability, lack of speed, and defensive armament made it necessary for the Stuka to have heavy fighter escort to operate effectively. The skin on this model represents an aircraft assigned to 2/St.G.2 during Operation Barbarossa in late summer 1941.
