| hjlittman | 13-Aug-07 00:02 | | I found reference to the Japanese having two Ju-87A's for evaluation. I could not find reference to the Germans giving them a Ju-87B, but if they had, this is what it would have looked like. So, this comes under the category of a might have been.
The orange and black paint job was applied to experimental aircraft and to trainers during this period as a warning to other pilots that stay clear since this aircraft may do strange things at any time. The Japanese engineers found the Stuka to be an extremely accurate dive bomber and it had some interesting maintenance features, but it's range was too short and they thought it handled like a pig. No licensed production was undertaken. |
