The Ju-87 dive bomber is certainly one of the most well-known and famous aircraft of the Second World War. This distinctive “gull-wing” aircraft gained great fame at the beginning of the war and is considered, together with the Panzer Divisions of the Wehrmacht, the symbol of the Blitzkrieg. During the war, new versions with different operational profiles were introduced. The Ju-87G was developed as an “anti-tank” version of the famous Stuka to counter the impressive number of enemy armored vehicles on the Eastern Front after 1943. The famous Stuka pilot Hans Ulrich Rudel suggested applying two 37 mm Flak 18 cannons housed in under-wing pods to better counter this new threat. In this configuration, the Ju-87G “Kanonenvogel” proved, in the hands of expert pilots, to be extremely effective.
