My error i was talking about the J4. By the way by 1918 they had bought both a fighter (scout) and a CL , these were both monoplane and flew supporting the Friekorp after the war.
The Junkers J4 (military designation J.I) was a close support aircraft, but in the roles of tactical reconnaissance, artillery correction, liaison duties, and supply drops. Its mission was primarily reconnaissance, and its only standard armaments was defensive.
@@arthurmosel808 Freikorps or free corps And in the baby shoes of early aviation there wasn't such a strict differentiation anyway. Especially before they had a useable, reliable system to shoot several machine guns straight ahead of the pilot to enable "proper" plane hunting. That differentiation pattern would develop mostly after the war...
Not that it matters, since we all know what the narrator is referring to, but I don't think that his pronounciation is correct. As far as I know Junkers is written WITHOUT Umlaut, therefore it's pronounced J [ou] nkers, more less like y[ou]th.
I too have the Wingnut Wings kit! The instructions with the historical information is available on the company's website, which is still up despite going out of business.
Great video on a remarkable airplane. Considering the huge loss of canvas planes and pilots from either side doing trench strafing or observation, this Junkers was a game changer. Pilots were expended as cheaply as infantry by the British to maintain pressure on the Germans.
can you please do the Dornier Do 217 N-2 or the BF-110 G-4 (preferably the Do 217 N-2)? Would be a great add-on to the Junkers Ju 88 Nachtjager video. thanks.
Yes and no. It was originally intended for ground attack but wound up being mostly used for reconnaissance and support. If the Germans had appropriate weapons for the ground attack role, this plane might have changed the war. Of course, the British and French would have been developing better anti-aircraft weapons, too, so who knows?
I am always surprised by the use of Corrogated Duraluminum, the material should have a huge drag penalty. Which would only get worse as you build faster planes.
@@PlaneEncyclopediaYT well, wasn’t the whole point of this video to show that he invented the metal skinned monoplane? Isn’t that like baking a cake but forgetting the flour? Or entitling a video “beautiful sunset,“ only to show a sunrise video?
Good presentation. No mention of the only surviving example in Ottawa Canada, only some clips.
Another very rare aircraft that's in my county. Neat.
The J1 was not considered a scout (which was what the click bait said it was. It was intended as a close support type of aircraft.

Finally!. Someone who pronounces the name Junkers correctly!.
On the other hand, they brought in “Anthony FuhKAH”!
Almost everyone I know and discuss aviation and aviation history with pronounces it properly (pilots, engineers, enthusiasts, model builders...).

Yes, but he butchered Fokker. Still a good video though.
Yoon cares
Great historic content.

They really never cared about their people
@@gratefulguy4130 I think Wellington referred to his infantry as "The scum of the earth".
@@blank557 Makes sense
Duralium 94% aloominum,5% copper plus a dash of manganese,silicon and other traces.
In honor of Hugo Junkers, I would like to mention that he refused to work for the Nazis, so they took his factory away from him.
Thanks for the reminder
Talks about the drag of biplanes while showing a picture of a triplane?
which has even MORE drag, so what?
Hey, it’s the Aviation Museum in Ottawa!
can you please do the Dornier Do 217 N-2 or the BF-110 G-4 (preferably the Do 217 N-2)? Would be a great add-on to the Junkers Ju 88 Nachtjager video. thanks.
Please do the Cierva C.30 or ( Avro Rota 671 Rota Mk I )
…so, if I understand this right, this was the WW1 version of the Warthog in terms of how they were used?

It’s not Anthony Foca
sound level is too low
Dessau Wisent the name of the company it’s the city

IL2: Dady?
Not so much a parent but more like neanderthal to homo sapiens.
2:20. So that’s a monoplane is it? I don’t think I’ll watch the rest of this tripe.
Video editor got the wrong Junkers on screen there.

The music is unnecessary.
I like the music tbh
Yeah, im tired of the history channels' " junkers jew"!!😂😂😂
Making light of Blood & Guts
8:41 interesting way to pronounce the name Anthony Fokker, whose real name sounds practically the same as the word this channel tried to avoid! 😂
I heard that mother Fokker was really proud of him
If I ever have a robot, I think I'll call it Otto Mader.
