JUNKERS JU-87R-2

WWII Legends

This machine is unusual in having the entire tail unit painted yellow – this was presumably done because the Ju 87 was the mount of a formation leader. Note the Gruppe emblem on the cowling – a stylised depiction of ‘Hans Huckebein’, who was a cartoon raven popular in the 19th century.  Hastily summoned from North Africa to reinforce StG 2 in Bulgaria immediately prior to the invasion of Yugoslavia and Greece, I./StG 1 nevertheless found time to apply the yellow theatre markings specified for Operation Marita (Balkans invasion) by the Luftwaffe high command.
