Book excerpt: Hitler's Stuka Squadrons is a book that separates fact from fantasy regarding the achievements and military career of the Ju 87 aircraft. Able to deliver its bombs accurately onto a target, the Stuka wreaked havoc in Poland and France against ground targets and refugee columns. Hitler's Stuka Squadrons charts the Ju 87's career in 1939-40, when German aerial superiority ensured aircraft losses were low. However, against Spitfires and Hurricanes in the Battle of Britain in 1940 the Stuka was shot out of the skies. The campaign in Russia saw the re-establishment of the Ju 87's supremacy, and would lead to a change in role to one of tank-busting. Hitler's Stuka Squadrons also covers the individual Stuka squadrons, their campaigns, tactics, and pilots.

Book Synopsis Le Junkers JU-87 de 1936 à 1945 by : Herbert Léonard
Download or read book Le Junkers JU-87 de 1936 à 1945 written by Herbert Léonard and published by . This book was released on 2003-04-01 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le " Stuka " est synonyme de Junkers Ju 87, cet avion de bombardement en piqué allemand dont l'efficacité au combat et l'effet psychologique produit, tant sur les populations militaires que civiles, se sont inscrits en " lettres de sang " dans les pages de l'histoire de l'aviation de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Ce nom de baptême est une contraction du terme Sturzkampfflugzeug, mot allemand signifiant " avion de combat en piqué ", autrement dit " bombardier en piqué ". L'initiative d'Udet déclenche la mise en chantier d'un premier programme de Sturzkampfflugzeug, puis d'un second, le Sturzbomberprogram, qui donne naissance au Junkers Ju 87. Très contesté dès son apparition en 1935, il finit par s'imposer grâce à sa modernité, sa robustesse, sa facilité de production, l'aisance de son entretien et son aptitude à piquer sur sa cible pratiquement à la verticale. Ces " qualités " font de lui un instrument de combat redoutable en coordination avec l'infanterie et les unités blindées, quand les troupes hitlériennes envahissent et occupent la Pologne, puis tout l'Ouest de l'Europe. Durant tout ce conflit planétaire, les Ju 87 sont au centre de la mêlée et leurs pilotes sont considérés comme ayant la tâche la plus ardue et la plus dangereuse à accomplir. Mais la guerre use même ceux qui sont les vainqueurs du moment. Les nations alliées contre l'Allemagne rattrapent rapidement l'avance technologique acquise par la Luftwaffe avant le déclenchement du conflit, reléguant vite le Stuka, trop lent et trop lourd, à des tâches moins ingrates et plus appropriées, pour lesquelles il n'a pas été conçu et ce, essentiellement en Russie.
Download or read book Junkers Ju 87 written by Eddie J. Creek and published by . This book was released on 2012-06-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This large format hardback is packed with information on the Ju87 Stuka. Highly illustrated, it represents a comprehensive, detailed reference work to be used by enthusiasts and modelers for one-stop ease of access to information to one of the most well-known aircrafts of World War II. Unquestionably, the Junkers Ju 87 was one of the most devastatingly effective and psychologically terrifying weapons of war ever produced. The howl of its sirens during a dive-bombing attack struck fear into those on the ground. Spearheading the German advances in Poland, Norway, the Low Countries, the Mediterranean, and Russia between 1939 and 1943, the Luftwaffe's Ju 87 Stuka became synonymous with the art of Blitzkrieg warfare. Next to the fighter aces, it was perhaps the Stuka crews who were held in the highest esteem by both German commanders and the German people and their accomplishments became legendary. This will be the book sought after by aviation enthusiasts and modelers.

Download or read book The Junkers Ju 87 Stuka written by Peter C. Smith and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Utilizing this slow and relatively lightly armed WWII warplane the German Luftwaffe spearheaded the Blitzkrieg assaults from Poland in 1939, through to North Africa and beyond. From the very first day of WWII to the very last, the Ju 87 operated on the front line. Famed for its precision bombing, the Stuka's accuracy paid handsome dividends against such pinpoint targets as rail and road bridges, artillery, communications, fortresses, and enemy armor. Its added ability to linger over the combat zone providing continuous close air support to troops in the field and proven capability in the field proved a major asset to the Luftwaffe throughout WWII. For a land-based aircraft, the Stuka earned a formidable reputation as an anti-shipping weapon. Off the coast of Norway, Dunkirk, in the Mediterranean and Arctic, the English Channel, and Black Sea, the Ju 87 chalked up a formidable list of destroyed ships. Later in the war she achieved legendary fame as a specialist anti-tank and night-attack aircraft. Peter C. Smith, a leading authority on the history of dive-bombers and dive-bombing, relates the history of the Stuka and all its variants in great detail. Complemented by more than 250 photographs, comprehensive appendices, equipment and instrument layouts, and color profiles The Junkers Ju87 Stuka provides essential reading for researchers, historians, and modelers alike.

Download or read book Defiance written by Nechama Tec and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2008-12-26 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The prevailing image of European Jews during the Holocaust is one of helpless victims, but in fact many Jews struggled against the terrors of the Third Reich. In Defiance, Nechama Tec offers a riveting history of one such group, a forest community in western Belorussia that would number more than 1,200 Jews by 1944--the largest armed rescue operation of Jews by Jews in World War II. Tec reveals that this extraordinary community included both men and women, some with weapons, but mostly unarmed, ranging from infants to the elderly. She reconstructs for the first time the amazing details of how these partisans and their families--hungry, exposed to the harsh winter weather--managed not only to survive, but to offer protection to all Jewish fugitives who could find their way to them. Arguing that this success would have been unthinkable without the vision of one man, Tec offers penetrating insight into the group's commander, Tuvia Bielski. Tec brings to light the untold story of Bielski's struggle as a partisan who lost his parents, wife, and two brothers to the Nazis, yet never wavered in his conviction that it was more important to save one Jew than to kill twenty Germans. She shows how, under Bielski's guidance, the partisans smuggled Jews out of heavily guarded ghettos, scouted the roads for fugitives, and led retaliatory raids against Belorussian peasants who collaborated with the Nazis. Herself a Holocaust survivor, Nechama Tec here draws on wide-ranging research and never before published interviews with surviving partisans--including Tuvia Bielski himself--to reconstruct here the poignant and unforgettable story of those who chose to fight.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designed as a fast bomber that could out-run the fighters of the era, the twin-engine Junkers Ju 88 became one of the most versatile aircraft of the Second World War. Such was the success of the design that its production lines operated constantly from 1936 to 1945, with more than 16,000 examples being built in dozens of variants – more than any other twin-engine German aircraft of the period. From an early stage it was intended that it would be used as a conventional light bomber and as a dive-bomber. As such, it served in the invasion of Poland, the Norway campaign, the Blitzkrieg and the invasion of France and the Battle of Britain. It went on to operate in North Africa, formed a key part of the air assault in Operation Barbarossa, and was vital to the Luftwaffes defence of Germany in the face of the Allied bomber offensive. It was also adapted for use as a fighter, night fighter, torpedo bomber, reconnaissance aircraft and even as a Mistel flying-bomb. It was used effectively against both land targets and shipping. In this selection of unrivalled images collected over many years, and now part of Frontline's new War in the Air series, the operations of this famous aircraft are portrayed and brought to life.

The Stuka was also famous for "the scream" that emitted launching into beaten against a target. in almost all versions, in fact, was mounted in the basket a siren that you drove with the beaten and emitted, in fact, a kind of scream. This served to terrorize the enemies on the ground and, for this reason, the Stuka earned a reputation even more terrible, the Junkers Ju 87 Stuka also said (in German Sturzkampfflugzeug, literally "combat aircraft swooping"), was a bomber swooping wing single-engine configuration with inverted gull wing. Although designed in 1933 by the German Junkers GmbH, the Stuka remained in production for over nine years, staying for the duration of the war, essentially unchanged in structure and basic configuration, test the overall validity of the machine. Were built more than 5,700 copies in a dozen versions, which fought on all fronts. In an attack dive against ground targets the greatest operational flaw lay in violent lateral acceleration experienced by the pilot, not having available at that time in chemical suits differentiated compression fainted at the height of the effort (coinciding with the release of the bomb). So not being able to regain control of the plane ended up crashing to the ground ... The German designers solved the problem by designing an automatic "recall" of the bar that was activated before the dive, and that allowed to bring back to share the plane after the attack in case of fainting of the pilot, who had so everything time to recover his senses and control apparatus.

Book excerpt: The Junkers Ju 87 Stuka (a contraction of the German word Sturzkampfflugzeug, ie dive bomber) was arguably the Luftwaffes most recognizable airplane, with its inverted gull wings and fixed spatted undercarriage.Designed by Hermann Pohlmann as a dedicated dive bomber and ground-attack aircraft, the prototype first flew in 1935, and made its combat debut in 1937 with the Luftwaffe's Condor Legion during the Spanish Civil War. After several design changes in the light of operational experiences, the Stuka went on to serve the Luftwaffe and Axis forces, from the invasion of Poland in 1939, through the Battles of France and Britain in 1940, over the North African desert and the across Mediterranean, the invasion of Russia and the subsequent bitter fighting in that vast area, and following several more design changes and upgrades, continued to serve through to the end of World War Two.This latest addition to the growing Flight Craft range, follows the previous well established format, in that it is split in to three main sections. The first section, after offering a concise design and development history, continues with coverage of the various subtypes, from Anton to Gustav and their operational use from the Spanish Civil War to the end of World War Two.This is followed by a 16-page full color illustration section featuring detailed profiles and 2-views of the color schemes and markings carried by the type in Luftwaffe and Axis service. The final section lists as many of the injection-moulded plastic model kits produced of the Junkers Ju 87 in all the major scales that the authors could find details of, including the brand new Airfix 1/72 and 1/48 scale kits which were released while this book was being written, with photos of many finished models made by some of the worlds best modelers.As with all the other books in the Flight Craft range, whilst published primarily with the scale aircraft modeler in mind, it is hoped that those readers who might perhaps describe themselves as 'occasional' modelers, or even simply aviation enthusiasts, may also find that this colourful and informative work offers something to provoke their interests too.

Download or read book Black Cross V05 Junkers Ju-87 written by Helmut Erfurth and published by Specialty Press (MN). This book was released on 2004 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ju 87 is simply one of the best known and distinctive aircraft of World War II. It was commonly known as the Stuka, an abbreviation of the German word Sturzkampfflugzeug, meaning dive-bomber. The prototype, ironically powered by a Rolls-Royce Kestrel engine, first flew in the Spring of 1935. In 1938 the Ju 87 was used in combat for the time as part of the German Condor Legion sent to assist during the Spanish Civil War. At the outbreak of World War II, all nine of the Luftwaffe's Stuka squadrons took part in the attack on Poland. Operating in conditions of air superiority, the Stuka performed well, wreaking havoc on Polish forces and communications. With its sirens wailing, the Stuka dive-bomber was a weapon of terror used to instill fear into the military and civilians alike. The aircraft played an important role in the campaigns against Norway, France and the Low Countries, but it suffered heavy losses when confronted by the Spitfires and Hurricanes of the RAF and was quickly withdrawn from the Battle of Britain and as the war ground on, the Stuka became more vulnerable and less effective. Depite its increasing obsolescence, the type remained in service until the end of the war.
