Junkers

But the Baron and Baroness are members of an older generation, as well as Prussian Junkers and landowners.

Our young man was a stiff conservative, a Junker of Junkers; he thought modern democracy a temporary phase and expected to find many arguments against it in the great Republic.

Flying Man: Hugo Junkers and the Dream of Aviation by Richard Byers.

In the 1930s, Marga von Etzdorf operated a Junkers A50 named "Kiek in die Welt", having already flown Junkers F13 commercial airliners for the former Luft Hansa as a co-pilot in 1927.

Germany's FW 200 served long and well but the aircraft reached the end of its usefulness by late 1943, although a few of the aircraft flew the occasional mission when not enough of the big Junkers that succeeded them were available.

I was excited about reading this book, because Hugo Junkers had designed and flown the world's first all-metal monoplane, and his name was associated with some of the great Luftwaffe airpower of World War II.

A single Junkers Ju 88 bomber approached from the southwest and shortly after 12.30pm dropped bombs and machinegunned a number of streets.

An all-new Junkers F13 monoplane built from the original 1919 blueprints flew for the first time, in September.

On one notable occasion in 1940, a Spitfire of No 72 Squadron RAF flying out of Woolsington shot down a Junkers Ju88 bomber at night - a remarkable achievement for an aircraft considered unsuitable for night fighting.

He was hit by friendly fire from a Spitfire chasing a Junkers 88 over Edinburgh.

It took place between the crew of a shot-down Luftwaffe Junkers 88, who armed themselves with machine guns from the aircraft, and the London Irish Rifles, led by Captain John Cantopher and later awarded the George Medal.
