HISTORY: The Stuka first flew in 1935. It was perfectly suited for its role of tactical precision dive bomber. It was equipped with many dedicated special features, the important 'small details' of design that make one aircraft much better than another. The Stuka had a dedicated autopilot system that automatically brought it to a dive when the pilot extracted the dive breaks, prevented damaging pilot stirring during the dive while not limiting the pilot's ability to aim, and then automatically pulled the aircraft out of the dive and back to level flight when the bomb was dropped. Since the G-suit was not yet invented then, pilots could temporarily lose consciousness by the high G force during the pull out of the fast near-vertical dive and crash to the ground, and the autopilot prevented that from happening. The Stuka pilot had excellent view from the cockpit and special indicators which conveniently informed him of his dive angle and when he reached the optimal bomb release altitude, allowing him to focus entirely on precise aiming during the fast steep dive. The Stuka was also very stable, making it easier for the pilot to aim the bomb. It had an arm that moved the bomb away from the body before releasing it, for better safety. The Stuka had a fixed landing gear with front wheel covers, which allowed the Stuka squadrons to land and take off from primitive unprepared front line "airfields", allowing them to stay close to the rapidly advancing german ground forces, enabling each Stuka to fly up to ten short-range attack sorties every day, making it accordingly several times more efficient than a similar tactical support aircraft that had to fly from more convenient airfields further from the advancing front.
Finally, as if the sight and sound of an enemy bomber diving right at you is not frightening enough, Adolf Hitler ordered to equip the Stuka with a screaming siren that made the sound of its dive far more frightening, giving it a greatly enhanced psychological effect which terrorized enemy civilians and soldiers with less than very determined morale, including anti-aircraft gunners which could fire at it and did not.

I took this plan in as a trade. It was 38 years old when it was scanned and shows it age very well in the form of extra ink and fold lines. This plan is past restoration. But if you desire that model JU.87b "STUKA", then here it is. I do know old CAP plans are of value as I do get request for them.

"Das Stuka Lied" / "The Stuka Song"
Many black birds pull
Highly over country and sea,
And where they appear, there flees
The enemies before them ago.
They can be fallen suddenly
Of the sky tiefbodenwärts.
They strike the ehernen claws
The opponent in the middle in the heart.
Refrain:
We are the black Hussars of air,
The dive bombers, the dive bombers, the dive bombers!
Always ready, if the employment calls us,
The dive bombers, the dive bombers, the dive bombers!
We fall from the sky and slam shut.
We are afraid hell not and do not give let us not rest,
Until finally the enemy is because of the soil,
To England, to England, to angel and defeating
The dive bombers, the dive bombers, the dive bombers!
If thousand lightnings flame,
If ring it threatens danger,
They hold together always iron,
Comrade on lives and death!
If booty they erspähen,
Then you always blow,
Nothing can escape its eyes,
The dive bombers, eagles equal from steel!
Refrain:
They and spoiling sow death
Ring over the enemy country.
The traces are rubble and pieces of broken glass
And blazing sky fire.
It goes already into all landing
Their name from mouth to mouth.
They strike the works to nothing,
The ships send it due to.
Refrain:
The dive bomber Song. (freely translated)
Many black birds roam
