published by Aviatik Verlag, Planegg, 1991
ISBN No. 3-925505-18-0

This book is focused on the life of Hugo Junkers and is less mentioning the company and aircraft backgrounds. The complete period of Hugo Junkers' lifetime from 1859 to 1935 is covered with lots of details. The oil engine developements are handled a little bit more in the depth. Nothing is found about the period after 1935.

If you are looking for aircraft or company history, there are better books than this one, but if you are looking for Hugo Junkers' Biography datas it is one of the best!
