Comments: This was the first production version of the Stuka. Relatively underpowered, it could only carry the rated 1,102lb bomb load by leaving the rear gunner behind. The most notable cosmetic features are the "trousered" landing struts, square rudder, and small radiator housing.
Three Antons served with the Condor Legion in Spain, problems revealed there were essential in the developement of the Berta. Other than these three examples, none saw combat. Most Antons were assigned to home based units and used for training in 1939. An unknown number of Antons were supplied to the Hungarian Air Force for use in the training role.
