EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the ominous sight of six Junkers Ju-87D Stukas, the notorious German dive-bombers of World War II, flying in formation as they set out to bomb Poland on October 18, 1939. The date marks the beginning of the air campaign in the early stages of the war. The Luftwaffe's Stuka force, with its distinctive siren wail and inverted gull wings, was a feared and effective weapon in the German arsenal. The piston-powered, single-engined, monoplane was a low-wing aircraft, designed primarily as a ground-attack aircraft, and was renowned for its accuracy and versatility. The Junkers Ju-87D, a variant of the Stuka, was the most advanced version of the series, featuring improved armament and defensive capabilities. The image presents an intriguing glimpse into history, offering a unique perspective on the military might of the German air force during the 1930s. The six aircraft, silhouetted against the sky, embody the ominous promise of the impending conflict, serving as a stark reminder of the pivotal role that air power played in the events leading up to and during World War II.
