EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the remarkable transformation of a Percival Proctor 5 aircraft into a menacing Junkers Ju 87 "Stuka" bomber for the iconic film, "Battle of Britain." The Percival Proctor 5, a British single-engine transport aircraft, is hardly recognizable in this image, having been meticulously altered to replicate the distinctive features of the German Junkers Ju 87. The Junkers Ju 87, also known as the "Stuka," was a notorious dive-bomber used extensively by the German Luftwaffe during World War II. Its distinctive inverted gull wings and fixed landing gear made it an instantly recognizable symbol of the Axis powers. In the film "Battle of Britain," the Percival Proctor 5 was skillfully converted to mimic this formidable warplane. The conversion process involved intricate modifications to the aircraft's exterior, including the addition of the Junkers Ju 87's distinctive inverted gull wings, fixed landing gear, and bomb bay doors. The cockpit was also altered to resemble the Ju 87's cockpit, complete with authentic instrumentation and controls. The conversion was a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the film industry during the 1960s. The photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into the behind-the-scenes world of film production, where ordinary aircraft could be transformed into iconic warplanes, bringing history to life on the silver screen. This photograph is an essential addition to any aviation enthusiast's collection, offering a unique perspective on the Percival Proctor 5 and the Junkers Ju 87, as well as the art of filmmaking. It is a reminder of the power of imagination and the ability to bring history to life through the medium of film.
