All wearing their multi-zippered summer flying suits, pilots and gunners from I.Gruppe / Sturzkampfgeschwader 1 (StG 1) gather around a Leutnant holding a map and compass in front of a Ju 87B at Falaise in the early summer of 1940. They have yet to don their bright yellow kapok lifejackets. Stuka pilots were seen as the elite aviators of the Luftwaffe in the lead up to World War II.
