Usage examples of stuka.
There was no sign of any reconnaissance Condor, which only served to confirm his belief in the enemy concealed below, nor did any Heinkels or Stukas appear over the eastern horizon, for the hour of the coup de grace had not yet come.
Heading for Scapa, we should be within easy reach, practically all the way, of the Heinkels and Stukas based in Bergen and there's the other disadvantage that ever since Oberleutnant Prien sank the Royal Oak up there, the mine defences make entry impossible.
Or, if they wanted to sink us from the air, they wouldn't use a Condor which is really a reconnaissance plane: Heinkels, Heinkel Ill's or Stukas with long-range tanks could do the job much more efficiently - and Trondheim is only about two hundred miles from here.
When the Stukas came, they found the convoy stretched out in line abreast, the tanker Varella in the middle, two merchantmen in close line ahead on either side of it, the Sirrus and the Ulysses guarding the flanks.
