The Ju87 was built for
functionality and ruggedness. A fixed landing gear and exceptionally
strong wing design were incorporated and no attempt was made to minimize
protrusions. The Stuka was not designed for speed; it was an aerodynamic
nightmare. The Stuka also incorporated a siren which when activated
during a dive was designed to inflict psychological damage on the enemy
below. The Ju87 was used with tremendous success in the Blitzkrieg
attacks on Norway, Poland, Belgium, France, Holland, Yugoslavia, and
Greece. Virtually unchallenged in the air during these Blitzkriegs the
Stukas took a devastating toll on Allied ground and mechanized forces.
Shipping was also vulnerable to the pinpoint attacks of the Stuka, and
the Ju87 destroyed more Allied shipping than all other German aircraft
put together during WW II. During Hitlers air attacks on Britain the
Stukas reputation for invulnerability was shattered. Facing British
Hurricanes and Spitfires the slower and less maneuverable Ju87s were
destroyed in large numbers, eventually forcing their withdrawal from
that conflict. |

| Stuka by Robert Taylor. The Stuka when dressed for war was an awesome spectacle. Robert Taylors outstanding painting shows a formation of JU87s bombed up and fitted with long range tanks heading out on a shipping strike over the Mediterranean in 1941. Following its success in the Polish and French Blitzkrieg campaigns, the Stuka was seen by the German High Command as the supreme new weapon to succeed long range artillery. With its banshee-like wailing siren the Stuka pilots would deliver destruction from the skies and create a devastating psychological effect upon all those below.
