Through rare archival footage, computer-generated imagery, historical re-enactments, and interviews with World War II historians and veterans, this program - the first in a new series created by Classic Planes TV and Historic Aviation - examines the development and operational history of German dive bombers, from the early tests of the Junkers K 47 in the late 1920s through the end of World War II.

You'll learn how World War I aces Hermann Göring and Ernst Udet - a famous barnstormer - developed Hitler's Luftwaffe dive-bomber program in the mid-1930s; explore why the Ju 87 "Stuka" was so successful in the Blitzkrieg and in the early stages of Operation Barbarossa but met its match in the Battle of Britain; examine the innovative Ju 187 "Super Stuka" that never reached production; and much more.
