Dive bomber - Dive bomber
A special bomber equipped with a dive-stopping blade to drop bombs as close as possible to improve the accuracy of hitting moving targets. They were produced after World War I, and during World War II, the German Junkers Ju-87, Heinkel, Japanese Type 99 carrier bomber, and American SB-2C carrier-based reconnaissance bomber were representative, performing dives of 50° to 60° or more. The German Ju-87 was known as the Stuka, an abbreviation of Sturzkampfflugzeug (dive bomber) in German. The Japanese Navy called them carrier-based bombers, or kanbaku for short. The Navy's land-based bomber Ginga was also capable of dive bombing and torpedo attacks.
