Historical and operational information

The Junkers Ju 87A was the first production version of the German "Stuka" dive bomber, introduced into service in the mid-1930s. The main user of the Ju 87A was Nazi Germany, but some units were exported and also used by the air forces of other countries, such as the Soviet Union and Italy. Such aircraft participated, for example, in the Spanish Civil War (marked with Condor Legion insignia), as well as in the period before the outbreak of the Second World War.

The "In Foreign Service" edition allows you to recreate unique paint schemes of user countries other than Germany, making it a special treat for advanced modelers and aviation historians alike.
