Airfix - Junkers Ju87B-2 'Stuka' - 1:24 (A18002A)
The Junker Ju87 'Stuka' became one of the most infamous aircrafts of World
War II. It gained its' fame during the opening actions of the Second World
War, as well as in the Spanish Civil War. During the opening phases of
World War II, the 'Stuka' achieved noteriety through its great accuracy, as
well as the psychological effect of the 'trumpet' device on the
undercarriage legs, this device made a wailing noise as the aircraft dived.
However, by the time of the Battle of Britain, the 'Stuka' was hopelessly
outclassed when faced with effective fighter opposition. The Hurricanes and
Spitfires of the RAF were able to decimate the hapless and vunerable
'Stukas' to such an extent, they were withdrawn from the Battle. In the
opening movements of the campaign on the Eastern Front and again in the
Western Desert, the 'Stuka' proved that in a clear sky it was a
devastatingly effective weapon, but when faced with fighter opposition it
was a death trap for the crews.
