Historical Background

The Junkers Ju 87 or Stuka (from Sturzkampfflugzeug, "dive bomber") was a German dive-bomber and ground-attack aircraft. Designed by Hermann Pohlmann, it first flew in 1935. The Ju 87 made its combat debut in 1937 with the Luftwaffe's Condor Legion during the Spanish Civil War of 1936-1939 and served in Axis forces in World War II (1939-1945).
The aircraft is easily recognisable by its inverted gull wings and fixed spatted undercarriage.

Upon the leading edges of its faired main gear legs were mounted ram-air sirens known as Jericho trumpets, which became a propaganda symbol of German air power and of the so-called Blitzkrieg victories of 1939–1942, as well as providing Stuka pilots with audible feedback as to speed. The Stuka's design included several innovations, including automatic pull-up dive brakes under both wings to ensure that the aircraft recovered from its attack dive even if the pilot blacked out from the high g-forces.

Hello guys! It has been a while since I’ve uploaded a creation due to because the Philippines has been hit by a massive category 5 typhoon before Christmas on Dec 16, 2021 which destroyed/damaged a lot of residence and has claimed countless of lives on the following areas: Surigao Del Norte, Siargao island, Dinagat Islands, Cebu city, and many more. But now I have complete access to electricity aswell as proper shelter, resource and internet signal so I can continue on with my studies and create more content creations in the future!

I really hoped that you enjoy this creation of mine, this took me approximately 5 days in the making and it has got to be one of the most simplest Stuka replicas out there, very easy to use and is free for download to anyone. Do keep in mind that any re-uploads that includes this creation shall be credited by my name or consequences will be made. Be sure to upvote me if you want to see more of these creations and your support really motivates me to do more of these! I appreciate your support and I hope you have fun as much as I did creating it. That’s all for now! Bye bye
