The Junkers JU87B Stuka was a two-man German dive bomber and ground-attack aircraft. Its first combat debut was in 1936 as part of the Luftwaffe’s Condor Legion during the Spanish Civil War. 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.
