Stuka comes from the German word for dive bomber (Sturzkampfflugzeug).
Yes, the junkers ju 87 stuka dive bomber was designed and made by the Germans in ww2 but other countries that used the plane include Japan, the United Kingdom, Italy, Hungary and a few more countries.
The German's main bombers of WW2 were the Ju-87 Stuka, the Heinkel 111, the Dornier 215 and 217 and the Focke Wulf Condor.The German's main bombers of WW2 were the Ju-87 Stuka, the Heinkel 111, the Dornier 215 and 217 and the Focke Wulf Condor.
The Japanese were impressed with the Junkers JU-390. It could fly from the German Bases in Odessa to the Japanese held fields in China. Starting in late 1943 the Junkers JU-390 would deliver secret jet engines and other valuable weapons and on the return flight carry exotic metals, uranium, and even rubber. Also this is the way Japanese and German officers carried Top Secret information. In March 1945 a Junkers JU-390 flew to Tokyo by flying over the North Polar regions. This is verified by Albert Speer who wrote about this flight. Anna Kreisling was in Japan at the time and flew back to Germany on a different Junkers JU-390. Japan was working on a Nuclear bomb and the Junkers JU-390 was the bomber they wanted to use the Atomic Bomb on Los Angeles and Hawaii.
Yes! This has been confirmed by the New York Times and Newsweek. The Junkers JU-390 Recon aircraft flew over Chicago on the morning of Aug. 28th at 8:30 in the morning. The Pilot in command was Hans Joachim Pancherz and the Co-Pilot was Anna Kreisling, The White Wolf of the Luftwaffe. This Junkers had taken off from Norway on August the 27th and penetrated into Canada. Then swung south and photographed important Defense plants in Michigan. On the way to New York the Junkers JU-390 passed over Chicago because Hitler wanted detailed aerial pictures of where all the American Gangsters lived. Near Chicago were also important American Tank and Aircraft factories! This Junkers JU-390 was seen by three formations of AT-6 Training aircraft that morning. One AT-6 flew within 65 yards of the cockpit of the JU-390 and reported that a gorgeous Blonde was blowing him kisses! He took several pictures of her as she waved to him! These pictures of the famous BERLIN BABY Junkers JU-390 were labeled TOP SECRET by the OSS and later the CIA.
On August 10 1940 the Germans had 875 high level bombers (Heinkel 111, Dornier 17 & Junkers Ju 88s) 316 dive bombers (Ju87 Stuka) & 929 fighters, mostly Messerschmitt Bf109s, of which 227 were Me 110s. The Stukas were soon withdrawn, because they were too slow against RAF fighters, to be used in the invasion, which as time would tell be in the East rather than against Britain.
Answer Hmm. Not sure of an acronym for that. Their most popular dive bomber was named Stuka. It was a Junkers Ju-87.
There were several notable aircraft that utilized the Gull Wing i.e. The F4U Corsair and the Junkers Ju-87 Stuka . See links .
The Junkers Ju 87, commonly known as the Stuka, was designed by Hermann Pohlmann, chief designer at Junkers Flugzeug und Motorenwerke AG. The Stuka was a dive bomber used by the German Luftwaffe during World War II, known for its distinctive inverted gull wings and screaming siren, or Jericho trumpet, that it emitted during dives.

The Junkers Ju-87 "Stuka" was a one engined dive bomber. It was mainly used to attack European countries but appeared in Russia and the middle east. However they were slow and had a flimsy airframe so they were shot down quickly by allied planes and flack guns. But the answer is no...it had one engine. http://www.public.iastate.edu/~s_g_t/Images/Aircraft/Stuka.jpg

Yes. It was one of only two positions on a Stuka - the pilot or the tail gunner. While the pilot focused on getting to it's bombing run, the rear gunner would deter allied planes from shooting them down. Many Stuka's were destroyed by allied fighters, though, because of their lack of speed and agility.
Herman Pohlmann, of the Junkers firm, was the principal designer. But the Ju 87, like most aircraft was a team effort. There is very, very very, rarely a single person who is responsible for the overall design of an aircraft.
The dive bomber was the Junkers Ju 87; but the German for Dive Bomber is Sturzkampfflugzeug. Germans were very fond of their own type of acronym, using the first syllable of a word rather than its initial letter; thus, Geheim Staatspolizeibecomes Gestapo, and Sturzkampfflugzeug becomes Stuka.

As there were no Junkers 390 flying after WW2 it would be impossible for Obama to have flown in one.
