The JU-87 dive bomber is certainly one of the most famous airplanes of World War II.?This characteristic €œinverted gull wing€� aircraft became famous at the early stage of the war and it can be considered, together with the Wehrmacht Panzer Division, the symbol of the €œBlitzkrieg€�. The Italian Regia Aeronautica requested to the German ally, before the beginning of the war, a specific supply of one hundred €œStuka€� to equip its ground attack and dive bombing Squadrons. The first Ju-87B units arrived in the summer of 1940 and went to equip the 96º Gruppo Bombardamento a Tuffo. The Ju-87, either in the B2 version or in the extender range R2 version, equipped other €œGruppi di Volo€� for a total of 150 planes. The Italian €œStuka€�, nicknamed €œPicchiatello€�, was used by Regia Aeronautica over Malta, in North Africa, in the Balkans and in the Mediterranean Theatre.
