In the mid-thirties, Ernst Udet, commander of the German Technical Office persuaded the scientific technical staff thru repeated demonstrations that a plane should be designed for vertical bomb run or, as popularly known, dive-bombing. The result, the Stuka JU-87, became one of the most famous aircraft of World War 2.

The 87-B model was the most widley used of the Stuka's and first saw service during the 1939 Polish Campaign. In May 1940, it successfully lead the German invasion of France and the Low Countries but, later in the year, had to be withdrawn from battle when it suffered heavy losses at the

hands of Britain's Royal Air Force during the air "blitz" of Southern England.

In the years 1942 to 1945, D-7 and G-1 models were used effectively as anti-tank weapons on Eastern Front. More than 500 Russian tanks were destroyed by Capt. Hans Ulrich Rudel — enough to equip a complete armored division. Capt. Rudel, who, luckily survived the war, flew over 2500 operational missions and accounted for the destruction of thousands of trucks, troop carriers and armored vehicles. The name Stuka is an abbreviation of "Stuzkampfglugzeug" — the designation given this plane be the Immelmann Dive-bonber Group.
