Junkers Survivors of WW I

Junkers J4 (2 entries)

Remaining Junkers aircraft of the 20s
Back to Overview

Most of the early Junkers aircraft were destroyed after WWI according to the Allies orders. A few aircraft were saved in Germany, like the J1, which was on display at the Deutsches Museum between the wars or parts of the J3, which were shown at the Junkers Lehrschau at Dessau. At the end of WWII all of these remaining aircraft in Germany were destroyed by air raids or military fights.

Today there are just a few of the early Junkers designs available, which had been captured by the Allies at the end of WWI and which had been used for victory exhibitions in the Allies' countries. Additional there are some existing replicas.

This J4 was captured by Italy after WWI. It was used for victory displays and was later moved to Museo Nazionale della Scienza e della Technica at Milano. Today there is only the fuselage structure without textiles remaining. A metal plate with the registration 68.03 is to be seen at the rear part of the fuselage. But this plate is part of a former Hansa Brandenburg C.I, which belonged to the Austrian K.u.K. Luftfahrttruppen.

Replica

(c) The Hugo Junkers Homepage.

Manfred Pflumm from Villingen, Germany has already built a lot of Junkers F13 replicas. Also the J9 at the Luftwaffenmuseum at Berlin-Gatow is replica from Pflumm's workshops. It was finished in 1997 and it was exhibited first at the annual meeting of the German Society for conservation of historical aircraft at Villingen in autumn 1997. Now it is moved to Gatow, where it will be presented in the WW I exhibition section.

I got the information, that at Lake Guntersville Fighter Museum, also a J9 could be found. This aircraft seems to be replica, but I am still looking for a confirmation of that information. The collection should have been built up by a man named Ryder, who died a few years ago.

The Replica Fighter Museum is closed. After the death of Frank Ryder the museum's assets have been sold to a number of people. No info, where the J9 replica currently is.
