The Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II is an American single-seat, twin-engine, straight-wing jet aircraft.
The A-10 was designed around the GAU-8 Avenger, a heavy rotary cannon which forms the aircraft's primary armament (and is, to date, the heaviest rotary cannon ever mounted on an aircraft). The aircraft's hull incorporates over 1,200 pounds (540 kg) of armor and was designed with survivability as a priority, with protective measures in place which enable the aircraft to continue flying even after taking significant damage.
Present day : still in service

Not something you'd ever want to see as an Allied soldier in World War II--a diving Ju 87 Stuka.
The Junkers Ju 87 Stuka was developed as a dive bomber for the Luftwaffe just prior to WWII. It was phenomenally accurate and advanced for its time--if the pilot blacked out in a 90-degree dive, the Ju 87 had an autopilot that would pull itself out of the dive. It was also a stable platform for not only diving, but later strafing runs.
Stukas (which is a contraction for "dive bomber" in German) caused havoc amongst Allied forces early in the war, but its slow speed made it dead meat against Allied fighters; the Germans used it until the end of WWII, but only in areas where they had air superiority, such as Russia.
