The Junkers Ju 87 or Stuka was the best known Sturzkampfflugzeug German for Dive Bomber in World War II, instantly recognizable by its inverted gull wings, fixed undercarriage and infamous wailing siren — though these were only fitted to a few aircraft, the extra drag being unwelcome on an already sluggish aircraft. The Stuka's design featured some innovative features, including automatic pull-up dive brakes under both wings to ensure that the plane recovered from its attack dive even if the pilot blacked out from the high acceleration, and a wind-powered siren under its nose that wailed during dives to frighten its victims. These were named "Trumpets of Jericho" by Junkers and were a form of psychological warfare. Its rugged fixed undercarriage allowed it to land and take-off from improvised airstrips close to the battlefront, giving close support to the advancing German forces. In all, almost 6,000 Ju 87 were built between 1936 and August 1944.
