Suddenly it hove back into view, coming straight at us, diving madly like a German Stuka on a bombing run. |

The first mission of the Stalingrad set has you crossing the Volga towards the ruined city while being strafed by Stuka dive bombers. |

They wanted a fighter that could catch and destroy the dread Stuka, even when the bomber was in its infamous dive. |

I dropped the left wing and saw a Stuka making a bee-line for the base. |

The Bf 109, unlike the Stuka, could fight on equal terms with RAF fighters after releasing its ordnance. |

Major MacDonald was a bandsman manning one of the ship's guns when it was hit by Stuka dive bombers. |

After repeated Stuka attacks that day, six ships were badly damaged, four were sunk and only four reached their destination. |
