[Johnny Gage]

From the narrative:

This automatic dive-control system is likely derived from purchased Junkers Ju 88A dive bombers

There was another sight that stated that they indeed did buy JU-88's from the germans, and used that plane as a basis for creating this one.

I guess it came back to haunt the Germans in the end.

[SAMWolf]

The JU-88 was probably the best and most versatile of the German medium bombers,there were never enough of them. Have to give the Russians some credit with recognizing good designs and either copying them outright or improving on them.
