Apparently, some JU 87s were used against the Warsaw Uprising of 1944, presumably because there were no fighter aircraft to contend with. |

Stukas were built until August 1944 and were used in service right until the end of the war. |

I was in Spain in the late 50's and I swear I saw a formation of Stuka's, and Heinkel Bombers in formation. Anyway that is what my father (U.S. Air Force) said they were. Could this have been the last flight – it was a wonderful site, for a boy of my age, just starting to build model aircraft. |

377CSG That must have been so amazing. Has to be one of the last flights ever made by them? |

This was part of Franco's Air Force and they were headed for Madrid – probably fly-over for Spanish Arm Forces day or some special occasion (maybe retirement?). I can still hear the roar of all those engines – wave after wave. Memories. |

Hi None were still flying in the 60s when they used Franco's 109s and He111s in filming "The Battle of Britain", though. They had to use big RC models. Rocky |
