Junkers Ju 87 Stuka
Smith, Peter C.
Crowood Aviation Series
First Edition
The Junkers Ju 87 was the aeroplane that struck terror into the heart of anyone unfortunate enough to be on the receiving end of its attacks. By far the best known and arguably the most successful dlve-bomber, the Ju 87 could trace its ancestry back to the Junkers K. 47 of 1928 and was perfectly suited to its deslgn role.
Dive-bomblng hlstorian Peter C. Smith tells the full story of the Junkers Ju 87 in thls welcome additon to the Crowood Aviation Serles. He describes its deslgn, development and
operational use and suggests that, although misused and badly directed In the Battle of Britain, the Stuka caused conslderable damage to Brttish convoys and alrflelds for comparatively commensurate losses. He describes Its use from Spaln through the war In Europe, North Afrlca and Russla to its short post-war career wlth the Czechoslovaklan Air Force.
