wrote: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junkers_Ju_87 The Junkers Ju 87 or Stuka (from Sturzkampfflugzeug, "dive bomber") was a German dive bomber and ground-attack aircraft designed by Hermann Pohlmann and first flew in 1935. The Ju 87 made its combat debut in 1937 with the Luftwaffe's Condor Legion during the Spanish Civil War. It served the Axis forces in World War II. A beautiful series! I am very curious how those psycholochical warfare sirens actually worked ("Trumpets of Jericho") I know the were driven by small propellors in the slipstream; I have seen several photos of these units, but I fail to see how the actual noise is made. All I can see is a ram air propeller on a smooth tube without obvious holes for sound emission. Does anybody have an exploded view or such of the internals of these parts? Just a curious mind that wants to know how such small devices could make so much noise! |
