The Stuka JU 87G-1, a legendary dive bomber of the German Luftwaffe, was renowned for its precision bombing tactics during WWII. This aircraft, often seen soaring over battlefields, showcased a unique combination of speed and agility, complemented by its infamous screaming sirens that instilled panic among enemies.
