It was specifically designed for a vertical bomb run, or “dive-bombing”. The JU87B model was the most widely used of the Stuka’s and the first saw service during the 1939 Polish campaign. In May 1940, it successfully lead the German invasion of France and continued spread through Europe as the German forces advanced.
