Capable of nearly 90 degree dive angles, the Stuka (the word is derived from the German word for "Dive Bomber") was able to place its main bomb payload with a consistently excellent accuracy. After some initial mishaps involving pilots not pulling out of the dive soon enough, the dive procedure was automated. Once above the target, the pilot activated the dive sequence, after which he was only able to steer the plane left and right to aim the payload. At a set height, the plane would then automatically pull out of the dive, ensuring that the pilot could concentrate on the task at hand during the actual descent. The centerline bomb is mounted in a metal frame. When the bomb is released, the frame swings away from the fuselage and forward, releasing the bomb on a trajectory that would take it below the propeller. In addition to its bomb payload, the Stuka has two forward-facing machine guns mounted in the bend of the gull wings. Furthermore, a rear gunner can aim the machine gun located in the aft section of the cockpit. The sound of a diving Stuka was a high pitched whine that could be easily heard on the ground. The sound was actually produced by a pair of sirens (small propellors) mounted on the wheel assemblies. Once the dive was initiated, the sirens started their distinctive screaming. These "Jerhico's Trumpets" were an effective psychological weapon, instilling panic into troops on the ground. The Stuka was an effective weapon during the early part of the war. German dominance in the sky ensured that the planes could reach their targets unhindered, deliver their payloads, and return to fly another day. It was used in all theaters of the war, including the west front, east front, Mediterranean, north africe, and even against the mainland of Great Britain. However, as Allied airpower began to assert itself in the mid 1940s, the usefulness of the Stuka drew towards its conclusion. Rather slow and cumbersome in standard flight, the Ju-87 became a sitting duck for agile fighters, particularly as the German fighter fleet thinned.
