EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of impact as a Junkers Ju-87B Stuka, registration number T6 HL, crashes next to the Selsey-Chichester road following an attack on Tangmere-Airfield in Sussex during the intense aerial combat of the Battle of Britain on August 16, 1940. Part of the Luftwaffe's 3rd Stukageschwader 2 Immelmann, this German dive-bomber was one of four Ju-87B Stukas shot down during the fierce engagement. The piston-powered, single-engined, monoplane with a distinctive low-wing design was a formidable weapon during the early years of World War II. Known for its distinctive "screaming jabo" dive, the Stuka was feared by Allied forces for its accuracy and devastating impact. The 1930s-era aircraft, with its menacing presence, was a symbol of the German air force's might and determination during the early stages of the war. The Battle of Britain marked a turning point in the conflict, with the Royal Air Force successfully defending the UK against the large-scale attacks by the Luftwaffe. This poignant image serves as a reminder of the bravery and sacrifice of the pilots involved in this pivotal moment in history.
