Since 1925 he was engaged at the Main Office of Prof. Junkers. Plauth supported Zindel in the design of the Junkers Ju22 for Russia. A very innovative design of Plauth himself was the Junkers A48. It was the first post war Junkers aircraft with smooth metal surface. With that design Plauth generated the principle knowledge about dive bombers, which were later used on the Ju87 design. On November, 1st 1927 Karl Plauth, who was also a sport pilot, crashed with an A32 during artistic flights and died.

Pohlmann, Hermann

( *   26. June 1894   )

Junkers Design Office





In early 1914 Pohlmann visited the flight school of Hans Grade and during WWI he joined the German Air Force. Hermann Pohlmann was a bomber pilot during WWI. After WWI Pohlmann studied ship design techniques and later joined the Junkers Flugzeugwerke in 1923, where he started his work on the engine cowlings of the Junkers G23. While most of the designs at Junkers Flugzeugwerke during the twenties were developed by Ernst Zindel and Otto Mader, Pohlmann was responsible for the design of the famous W33/W34 aircraft, which had been developed from the F13. He was also supporting the designs of Ju46 (designed with Ernst Zindel), the A48/K47 (together with Karl Plauth), the Junkers A50 (together with Arntzen) and finally the Junkers Ju60. Pohlmann also developed initial designs for the Junkers G38 before Zindel himself took over the development authority. Pohlmann was responsible for development of Ju60 airliner. Already in 1928 Pohlmann was engaged in the development of a dive bomber Junkers K47, which laid the foundation for the later development of the Junkers Ju87 also designed by Pohlmann. In 1940 Pohlmann left Junkers and went to Blohm + Voss, where he was engaged in the BV222 and BV238 design. After WWII Pohlmann left Germany and went to Spain, where he joint CASA in 1950. In 1959 again Pohlmann went to Hamburg and joint Hamburger Flugzeugbau GmbH, the former Blohm + Voss facility, as its technical director. Pohlmann retired in 1968.
