Sturzkampfflugzeug was the general
German terminology for dive-bombers, but the
Ju 87 with its inverted
gull wing, and
fixed-undercarriage was the most famous and feared of all. It was
ugly,
accurate, but very
vulnerable to
enemy fighters; its use demanded
air superiority. Was very effective in destroying forts or ships, or just scaring people. On the eastern front the last
Ju 87 versions were employed as
anti-tank aircraft.
Also a
Primal Scream song.
