Description
With its siren screaming, diving almost vertically and dropping its bomb in front of oncoming troops that will take control of the area, Germany's Ju87 Stuka dive bombers were a principle part of their Blitzkrieg in 1939. The Junkers Ju87 was developed as dive bomber as result of an exhibition viewed by Ernst Udet in the United States in the early 1930's. Udet was a leading German WWI ace who was made a part of the newly developing Luftwaffe. In 1936 the Arado Ar81, Blohm & Voss Ha 137, Heinkel He118 and the Junkers 87 were finalists in the German Dive Bombing competition. The Junkers Ju87 could dive almost vertically, and recovered with ease; however it was 700km/h slower than the He118 which could only dive at a 50 degree angle. Udet began a dive with the He118 at 4000 meters and his propeller and gearbox ran away and flew off the aircraft. He parachuted to safety but was injured. This cemented the choice of the Ju87 and 10 preproduction Ju87A-0's, based upon the V-4 were ordered.
