History and usage

The Junkers Ju 87G, known as the "Kanonenvogel," was a German dive bomber used extensively during World War II on the Eastern Front. The most recognizable feature of the G version was the two underwing pods housing the Bordkanone BK 3.7 cm anti-tank guns. These aircraft became famous for destroying Soviet tanks, particularly during the Battle of Kursk in 1943. This plane was most notably flown by the Luftwaffe ace Hans-Ulrich Rudel.
