Re: JU-87D ...Transport??!

And here's something I found on the internet;

"The Ju-87D-3 was used in experiments with personnel pods, with one such pod carried on the top of each wing outboard of the landing gear. Two people could ride in tandem in each pod, and in principle the pods could be released in a shallow dive, to deploy parachutes for a soft landing. The whole scheme was questionable and though the Stuka was evaluated with the pods, apparently they were never paradropped."

Sounds like it would've been more fun than a rollercoaster ride at the amusement park - the pod people express .
 

One sheep to rule them all ...
