Not every plane. The prototype Stuka had twin rudders and it looked stupid.

Do you have a picture of that????? I've never seen one.

Yeah, the Invader was, and is, a badass plane. Reminds me of a small B-25 Mitchell, which is my favorite American medium bomber.

Thorlifter :twisted:
 
Due to two requests (and personal curiosity), I have searched and found a Ju-87 V1 picture.

Well, whether you like the way it looked or not, lateral stability was horrible.
 
My source doesn't mention the tail comming off. The plane did enter an unrecoverable spin that killed both the pilot and observer but apprently they intitial plane was flown without dive brakes and that may have played a critical role in the accident.
