Junkers 1895-1969

The Junkers aircraft story is told in three parts: the first was under the control of Hugo Junkers, the second by the Nazis until the end of World War Two, and the third is the post-war period that saw the company exist as a remnant of its former self. The first part of the story is clearly dominated by Junkers’ efforts in commercial aircraft production, while the Nazi period is, unsurprisingly, about military machines that helped to rapidly re-build a new Luftwaffe. This book charts the aircraft made by Junkers and the company’s development from one that contributed to the advancement to aviation to one contributing to the war machine.
