The dive bomber was the Junkers Ju 87; but the German for Dive Bomber is Sturzkampfflugzeug. Germans were very fond of their own type of acronym, using the first syllable of a word rather than its initial letter; thus, Geheim Staatspolizeibecomes Gestapo, and Sturzkampfflugzeug becomes Stuka.

What country had the first bomber plane?
the German Luftwaffe, meaning airforce devoloped the first dive bombers It may not be known which country used aerial bombing first, but Germany in WWI may have been the first with their zeppelins. They also had a bomber called the Gotha, and other WWI countries had similar bombers. The first heavier-than-air bombers were two-place scout aircraft. The pilot flew the plane over the target, and the observer threw the bombs out by hand. It worked, and gave way to more sophisticated systems before WWI ended. The single-engine bombers carried bombs under their wings, and larger two- and four-engine bombers carried them internally in a bomb bay. * The German dive bomber, the Junkers 88 (Stuka), was inspired by a US bomber, the Curtiss Shrike. General Udet saw the plane demonstrated and wanted ones like it for his air force, but dive-bombing was already in use. These types of bombers had much success in WWII by several countries, but they were dispensed with after the war. Other types of bombers, both tactical and strategic, are still in use today.
