This is a rare Third Reich book that traces the history of one of the great pioneering firms of aviation - Junkers - from 1909 through 1934. The 6-1/2 x 9-1/2 inch, very heavily illustrated 188 page soft cover book we offer here is in the German language.
The text of Junkers und die Welt Luftfahrt was written by Captain F.A. Fischer von Poturzyn and supplemented with a great many rare photographs shot or selected by August Dresel. It was published by Richard Pflaum Verlag of München (Munich) in 1935 and printed by Münchner Buchgewerbehaus M. Müler & Sohn KG.
The Fischer von Poturzyn introduction stresses the fact that Junkers and other German aviation concerns were at first unfairly forbidden by the Allies to build and / or sell aircraft with any range after World War I and thus they had to build or export outside of Germany, and had to emphasize un-powered aircraft at home. He then settles into a history of Professor Dr. Ing. Hugo Junkers and the enormously successful and creative aviation, scientific and consumer business that he built in Dessau.
Starting with the world’s first all-metal aeroplane in the early days of flight, Junkers added many more “firsts” as aviation grew, and he developed many of the techniques that became standard in the construction of all-metal series aircraft. At the same time the company was manufacturing almost everything from keys and silverware to ice skate blades.
Another chapter explains that with the coming of Adolf Hitler everything in Germany changed for the better and Junkers place in aviation was assured.
The remainder of the book is devoted to data and photographs of Junkers aero engines and airplane types. This is wonderful, rare historical material.
