Junkers J.I armored World War I biplane - J4 - Hugo Junkers - Airailimages Warplane Review

[@WrightCycloneR1820]

It's worth pointing out here that J was a class of armoured attack aircraft, rather than just a Junkers thing. Albatros, AEG and several other companies produced J aircraft that were either part or fully metal. This is why the J.4 was known as the J.1, it was a Junkers 4 and a Jagd 1. The Germans used letters to class their aircraft types, A were unarmed recce, B were unarmed bombers, C were armed two seat recce bombers, D biplane fighters, and so on. Great video, ty for posting, the Junkers types were certainly the kings of the J types.

The unrestored J.I in the Canada Aviation and Space Museum in Ottawa is quite a thing to see. Stored for years, it recently went on display.

Thanks for watching and adding that information.

Not long ago, Junkers equipment for heating was still available.

[@airailimages]

Nice bit of additional information. Thanks.

@@airailimages : At least twenty years ago, on older shops (?), in german Werkstätten, of craftsmen in this business, you could see the Junkers logo for heating components.

Nice video! Always good to see more channels covering aircraft.

Very enjoyable presentation. One point of correction if I may, I’m pretty sure the J-I did not have any forward firing weapons, the only machine gun aboard was the one in the rear cockpit. Still, a video on this obscure old airplane is very much appreciated and certainly a monument to publishing interesting material outside “the box”. I’m glad I subscribe.👍

Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it. One source, John W.R. Taylor's "Combat Aircraft of the World", says the J.1 had two forward-firing Spandaus. Peter Gray and Owen Thetford, in "German Aircraft of the First World War" also list "Two fixed Spandau machine guns forward...", but there's always the chance they got it wrong. Is there another source we should be looking at?

Crews nicknamed it "Tin Donkey".
