And became a standard movie sound effect for years
-
For anyone curious about the limited range, this was the result of German military doctrine which did not include strategic bombing as a main focus. Stukas were meant to be a kind of aerial artillery that served as reliable close air support, not a medium bomber
-
From what i know the Jericho Trumpet was always on. The Pilots hatet it. Only in a later Version they added the Feature to turn it on and off.
-
Such an iconic plane
-
'Banshee scream' is an apt term as it often foretold the death of those who heard it.
-
My grandfather said that, when you heard the siren and laid down, it felt like a bomb would it you in the square of your back.

Playing this on war thunder, cant push myself to research the succesor lol

The dive brakes didnt suddenly stop the dive or made the Stuka to pull up. It only prevent the Stuka from going too fast during the dive. The pull up automatic had nothing to do with it, when the "pull up automatic" was activated, it just trimmed the Stuka nose down for the dive and after releasig the bombs, to nose up. Without the pilot pulling the stick back, the Stuka would not pull out of the dive by itself.

I knew an old guy who flew these things. He told me they were hard on pilots physically because every dive made them sick with a feeling their insides were “pushing up to erupt out of their heads”. He flew in Poland, North Africa etc Before moving to small rocket aircraft towards the end.

Cardboard? Did you mean onboard?
-
Ngl? Wish we had a equivalent to the Stuka Siren today. Like can you imagine a a10 but instead of just the brrrt you have that unnerving sound trailing it
-
Stuka are some nasty nasty planes !! But they are incredible !! Thanks for these incredible shorts !!
-
Thank you , K&G .

I really wish that a lot of the archival footage from the German film crews was still around it would be amazing to see what they had but also educational to really put into perspective what they decided to film
-
It’s funny because the pilots hated the Jericho trumpets partly because of the noise but also because they’d give away the planes location making it easier to be shot down as the Stuka was a very slow aircraft
-
Stuka, was the original A-10 Warthog! So true the fact, that the most decorated German pilot flew a Stuka he was interviewed by the engineers who designed the A-10 Warthog.
-
The Junkers Ju 87 Stuka would later be largely replaced in the daylight close air support role by ground attack versions of the Focke-Wulf Fw 190 Würger. The Fw 190 could carry roughly the same bombload as the Ju 87 while retaining fighter performances to enable the pilot to defend himself from enemy fighters.
-
The top Stuka ace also had input into the development of the American A10.
-
The wonder sound of these aircrafts is unforgetable.

Stukas are so iconic and popular even today that those who doesn't know much of the war or just those who watch movies and play games knows about these, same to the V2 rockets.
