Here are some additional details about the real Junkers Ju 87 B-2 Stuka:
The Ju 87 was famous for its inverted gull wings and distinctive wailing siren, designed to frighten enemy troops.
It was a highly effective dive bomber in the early part of the war, but later became vulnerable to faster and more maneuverable Allied fighters. The Stuka remained in service throughout the war, but in a less prominent role.
