From the June 12, 2012, Washington Post. AP.
An engine was recovered from the Baltic Sea this weekend. It was originally thought to be from a JU87D model, but now, because of the radiator, historians are about sure it is from a later model, the JU87G. What makes the recovery remarkable is that there are only two-known complete Stukas on display (one at a museum in London and the other in Chicago.
There are pieces of others at other sites, but only those two complete ones.

My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.
