The introduction of German “Stukas“ has been one of the great surprises of the present war. By means of this weapon, daring men, with the true fighting spirit, have already obtained innumerable successes of the greatest importance on all fronts. These results could not have been achieved but for the conviction that German scientists, and engineers had so perfected the design of this divebomber that it could withstand the exceptional demands made on it—especially on the engine and airscrew.

1 The American and British dive-bombers; which so far have become known to us are nearly all designed as ship-borne aircraft. Unlike the German dive-bomber, they are fitted without exception with air-cooled engines. See also “Sturzbomber,” in Wehrtechnische Monatshefte, Vol. 45 (1941), No. 3, page 54 Google Scholar.
