ju87 Stuka

Why did the Stuka have a siren?

This was used to weaken enemy morale and enhance the intimidation of dive-bombing. After the enemy became used to it, however, they were withdrawn. The devices caused a loss of some 20–25 km/h (10-20 mph) through drag. Instead, some bombs were fitted with whistles on the fin to produce the noise after release.

Are there any airworthy Stuka?

According to RAF Hendon nine of these museum aircraft still survive. However, only two “intact” Ju-87s appear to remain anywhere in the world, one in Chicago, USA, and the other, this one, at RAF Hendon, UK. ... There are no Ju-87s flying anywhere in the world today, which is a great shame.
