This Ju 87G-1 Stuka was piloted by Hans Ulrich Rudel in autumn of 1944. Rudel was the most decorated German pilot of World War II. The Ju 87G was used extensively against Soviet Tanks on the Eastern Front but its lack of speed and maneuverability increasingly led to its use for night missions, leaving daylight missions to the Fw 190.
Junkers Ju 87G Stuka Designed to function as a close support aircraft, the Ju 87 was first flown on September 17th, 1935. The Ju 87 had an innovative design that included automatic dive brakes under each wing-a feature that protected against the consequences of pilot blackout by ensuring recovery from an attack dive. Crewed by a pilot and rear gunner, the Ju 87 had twin 37mm cannons and a bomb that swung away from the propeller on an elongated U-shaped crutch. Its inverted gull wings improved pilot-to-ground visibility, gave the undercarriage a shorter height and made the Ju 87 instantly recognizable to its enemies.
