Junkers Ju 87 Military Aircraft Family
The Junkers Ju 87 was a German fixed-undercarriage military aircraft family recognized for its cranked wing and controlled-dive attack role. First flown in the mid-1930s, it saw combat in the Spanish Civil War and became closely associated with German close-support operations in the early Second World War before fighter opposition exposed its vulnerability. Later variants and conversions extended the design into maritime, training, and specialized battlefield roles.
