Ju-87C-1 Aircraft – Historical Information

The Junkers Ju-87C-1 was a specially modified version of the famous German dive bomber, the Ju-87 Stuka. It was developed for use with the planned German aircraft carriers, most notably the Graf Zeppelin. The “C” version featured, among others, folding wings, catapult attachment points, and reinforced landing gear that could be quickly replaced with floatplane gear. Although it was never used in combat on aircraft carriers, the aircraft remains an important technological curiosity of World War II. Country of operation: Germany.
