Dive bomber
The main German aircraft in Battle of Britain were Me 109 fighters and Stuka, Heinkel and Dornier bombers.
stuka were german's military aircraft designed for dive bombing who never missed their aim
There were several notable aircraft that utilized the Gull Wing i.e. The F4U Corsair and the Junkers Ju-87 Stuka . See links .

During the Battle of Britain, the Stuka dive bomber, known for its precision and psychological impact, faced significant challenges. Although initially effective in early stages of the war, it was vulnerable to British fighters and anti-aircraft fire. The Luftwaffe suffered heavy losses, and the Stuka's effectiveness diminished as the Royal Air Force developed better tactics and defenses. Ultimately, the Stuka's role was overshadowed by the limitations it encountered during this critical aerial battle.
Stuka comes from the German word for dive bomber, Sturzkampfflugzeug.
The 'Stuka' was a single engined, low wing dive bomber made by the German company Junkers. It was actually not a very successful aircraft and only gained fame when used in large numbers in 'terror' attacks with heavy fighter escorts. Stukas on their own were easy targets for even the slowest Allied fighters.
Stuka comes from the German word for dive bomber (Sturzkampfflugzeug).
The two aircraft were designed for different purposes: The Stuka as a ground attack dive-bomber, the Spitfire as a fighter aircraft. In air-to-air combat, the Spitfire would have had clear advantages in speed and maneuverability which would prove decisive. Once separated from its fighter escort, the Stuka was considered easy prey for Spitfires. It was withdrawn from the Battle of Britain within a few weeks following heavy losses. The Messerschmitt 109 was a much closer match to the Spitfire. _____________________________________________________________ Agreed. The Junkers Ju-87 Stuka was a dive-bomber; a type of warplane developed in the 1920's and dispensed with at the end of World War II. A Stuka was absolutely no match for the Supermarine Spitfire (or the Hawker Hurricane.....or even the Gloster Gladiator for that matter). As stated above, Stukas were used in the Battle of Britain, but they were quickly withdrawn because of heavy losses. German and Italian Stukas, and Japanese Vals, scored initial success in World War 2, but if oppposed by Allied fighters they were easily shot down before placing their bomb on the target.
It depends on what you classify as 'cannons' . Many aircraft were fitted with 20mm guns in exactly the same way as machine guns were. Some aircraft such as the Stuka, some other German aircraft and a few British aircraft were fitted with larger guns of 37- 40-mm calibre and these were often carried in pods under the wings and had very limited ammunition due to it's weight.
What is the aircraft type that operates to Istanbul
When a stuka dives the rush of air activates the sirens on each wing, which are part of the wing design
