- The Junkers J.I represented a massive leap in aircraft design philosophy while also being a truly exceptional combat airplane in its own right. Designed to fly close along the frontlines and support infantry operations, the J.I was uniquely capable thanks to its armor plated fuselage and duralumin construction. Its radical design was the culmination of years of experimentation and refinement from the concepts of Professor Hugo Junkers.

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.
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.
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...
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...).
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.
Yes, but he butchered Fokker. Still a good video though.
Yoon cares
Duralium 94% aloominum,5% copper plus a dash of manganese,silicon and other traces.
Great historic content.
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.
They really never cared about their people
@@gratefulguy4130 I think Wellington referred to his infantry as "The scum of the earth".
@@blank557 Makes sense
Hey, it’s the Aviation Museum in Ottawa!
Talks about the drag of biplanes while showing a picture of a triplane?
which has even MORE drag, so what?
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 )
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
…so, if I understand this right, this was the WW1 version of the Warthog in terms of how they were used?
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.
sound level is too low
It’s not Anthony Foca
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.
The music is unnecessary.
I like the music tbh
Yeah, im tired of the history channels' " junkers jew"!!😂😂😂
Making light of Blood & Guts
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.
@@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?
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.
