“Jesus in a Stuka!” [ NOTE: the Stuka, Ju 87, or
Junkers, was a Nazi 2-man dive bomber
aircraft first tested for combat as part of the Luftwaffe’s support of Franco
in 1936 during the Spanish Civil War ; the Stuka was very successful during the
Blitzkriegs of 1938 through 1942, as well as the early Russian front campaigns,
& in the Balkans, Mediterranean
& African campaigns ; its flaws were revealed during the Battle of Britain — lack
of manoeuverability being the least of it — , & it was phased out & by 1944 replaced
by the Focker. — Wiki ]
