My Friend George the Stuka Pilot

A story from another era. The Stuka was the name of the German designed Junkers 87, a single engine gull-wing dive bomber first used in the Spanish Civil War. It was later used by the Germans in WW2 and characterised by a screaming siren installed under one wing which made a terrifying noise as the Stuka went into its steep dive before releasing its bomb. The mention in the story of a Messerschmitt 109 related to a single engine German fighter also used throughout WW2.
