JU-87B Stuka History: The Junkers Ju 87B Stuka was specifically designed to be an army cooperation dive bomber. The Ju 87B Stuka is literally a plunging combat aircraft and the most famous of all fighter airplanes used by the Germans during World War II. Its nickname “Stuka” is the name given by the Immelmann Dive-bomber group. Stuka is an abbreviation of "Stukampfglugzeug”. The aircraft can easily be recognized by its inverted gull wings, fixed undercarriage and wailing siren. The Stuka's design has innovative features such as automatic pull-up dive brakes under both wings to ensure that the plane recovers from its attack dive even when the pilot blacks out from high acceleration; and a wind-powered siren under its nose that wails during dives to frighten its enemies. It also has fitted whistles onto the fins of the bombs to ensure that the recipients are aware when the bombs are released to track them on the way down. Over 5700 Stuka’s were built. The Junkers Ju 87B accommodates a crew of two: the pilot and the rear-gunner. This model has measurements of: Span: 17" Len: 13 1/2" and Scale: 1/32
