Disc 1 - Junkers JU87: Acclaimed by the Germans as the 'scourge of Europe' the 'aircraft that conquered nations' the 'supreme weapon' the Junkers JU87 dive-bomber attained greater notoriety than any other weapon in the arsenal with which Germany launched the Second World War. It was more widely discussed and aroused greater controversy than many other more worthy aircraft. It was slow unwieldy and the most natural prey of the fighter yet within the first nine months of the war the JU87 acquired a legendary reputation. Disc 2 - Focke Wulf FW190: No combat aircraft ever achieved perfection but at the time of its debut the FW 190 probably came as near to this elusive goal as any other fighter. This aircraft was undoubtedly the finest warplane ever produced by Germany and from the moment it entered the theatre of war the FW 190 achieved a slim margin of superiority over the RAF aircraft in fighter versus fighter combat. In the ground attack role it subsequently proved its ability to absorb considerable punishment and in return deliver a more then powerful punch. Disc 3 - The Messerschmitt BF109: By the outbreak of the Second World War the German Luftwaffe possessed more than 3 500 frontline aircraft. Over one third of these were single engine fighters and for the next six years one of these fighters would become the flagship of the German fighter force - the Messerschmitt BF 109. This legendary aircraft remained in operational service throughout the war fighting on all fronts and in doing so was responsible for shooting down twice as many enemy aircraft as any other fighter plane in the annals of military history.
