Manufactured in 1918, this J.I was sent to Canada from Dieppe on the SS Venusia in May 1919, as a war trophy. It was transferred to this Museum in 1969 and is the only complete Junkers J.I that exists in the world.
Junkers J.I
Developed for low-level, front-line observation, the Junkers J.I was the first all-metal aircraft to go into series production anywhere in the world. The completely armoured nose-capsule of 5-mm chrome-nickel sheet-steel enclosed the engine and crew compartment.
