Thank you for going beyond the aircraft and into the interesting life of the man who made them. I, like many other commenters, am blown away by the depth of the information in this film.
Brilliant, thank you! this is a very important story to tell Hugo was a renaissance man who also knew his limitations. To see his intelligent approach, you can just look at the CEO who was a philosopher.. the argument for such a choice was if you want to change the world and loop into the future you shall not choose an accountant but a person with a much wider horizon .10 years ago, a German author wrote a book called. Der Fliegerblick, the eye of the aviator about this very s eldom intellectual approach. One could wish that a certain firm in Seattle would have used the same approach. Hugo was one of the great heroes of the 20th century and a decent human being who would have been very pleased to see a European aircraft industry grow to such a leading position bring people together was his goal.
Thank you for a very professional docci. Not to mention your narration which could easily stand with some of the greats, like Murray Walker, David Attenborough and Laurence Olivier.
Awesome, once again you have nailed it! My membership ought to show up by tomorrow. There’s is another presenter I hold in similar esteem but you cover a much wider range of topics. Keep up the great work!
@aviationdeepdive I'm subscribing. It’s clear that an exceptional amount of effort and resources went into researching and producing this video-commendable work. Incidentally, I served at the Artillery Officers' School in Bracciano before being transferred to the parachute school. The only surviving Italian counterpart, the Savoia-Marchetti SM.81, is displayed there. Do you happen to know if these two designs were related or if one influenced the other? I'm now going to watch your previous productions.
_The WWI Fly Ace Joke_ First heard this joke when I was about 10 in 1961. [After I had heard it - I saw this joke in _Boys Life_ where they obviously didn't get it]. Little Johnny brought his Uncle The World War One Flying Ace to School for Show and Tell. His Uncle tells tales of daring do until he gets to this one story. _"So - there we wuz - me an' Georgie - and they had five of these Fookers coming to get us."_ The Teacher interrupted him and said: _"The Fokker is a type of German Aircraft, Children."_ Johnny's Uncle replies: _"Right ya are Missy - but these Fookers was flying Albatrosses."_ . . . .
Absolutely wonderful. A great video about one of aviation's pioneers. And clearly someone that would have been saddened to learn that his company and vision led to the Ju87 Stuka and other further warplanes. Thankyou for this peek at what he really was.
He would have been devastated by what his company built and to what his name has ultimately been associated with. There is a lot to this mans life that deserves recognition.
A great video of a important aviation pioneer, I much enjoyed it. Junker's association with the Bauhaus illustrates very well the intense creativity in engineering, art, architecture and social theory of the early years of the 20th century.
I think it's an important detail that gets overlooked. Bauhaus can be divisive-some say it lacks soul, but for me, I love its clean, efficient lines. No frills for the sake of frills. Although, I also love Renaissance architecture, bit of a mixed bag.
"Divorced by an angry Fokker" great line. One of my memories of Junkers was the large green heat pump in my parents' back garden. When it eventually stopped working, you couldn't get parts for it anymore. Hello new heating system 😂
I K Brunell had the same prob when he started building the first iron ship , every one laughed sayin steel does not float , they never heard of Archimedes ? well he shut them aw up in the end , thank god we had pioneers like this or we would still be walkin every where , aye !
Very interesting; sounds like Junkers was treated very badly. My tenuous connection is that my uncle has flow on Lufthansa's restored Ju-52 some years back.
Hugo Junkers had absolutely nothing to do with the design of the Ju 87 or '88. When these aircraft were being conceived, he was essentially under house arrest by the Nazis for refusing to have his company making a/c that were used as weapons of war. Junkers was basically run by the RLM at this time.The thought that designs bearing his name were being used as tools of destruction was a concept he found abhorrent. He was a socialist regarding his view of air transport in that air travel was for peaceful purposes and was intended for everyone, not just the wealthy. That was his dream. He died a broken man. It's tragic, really. Don't ever mistake Hugo Junkers with the familiar Junkers designs of WW II.
"No One!" builds passanger planes. EveryOne! Builds "Passenger" or cargo planes, as a "Bomber" in disguise, carrying cargo, or people? Granny was in the In. She flew Concord and 747 firsts'. I was too young to understand, but I knew it was a big darn deal. Got it. Junker is about like Westinghouse in history, and humanity, or Fokker and Edison.

A brilliant guy with real ethics and vision. How inspiring. Thanks for the story. I did not know this.
Thank you very much, He was indeed an exceptional man.
I'm soooo happy this video got finished! Beautiful result, thank you!

Incredible. I wasn't aware and I am appreciative of this TH-camr for keeping politics out of it, limiting comments to facts.
Thank you, I try, we have enough of politics in our lives as it is.

Bravo. Well done.
Aerospace is BRUTAL. Nobody ever escapes unharmed.
GREAT WORK JIMMY!💥💪
AUSTRALIA!!🤍💙❤️💥🙌
I laughed too hard at the "fokker" references.
Nicely done documentary, i never knew Junkers had died before the outbreak of WW2.
Thank you.
A fascinating insight into the life and work of Junkers.
Had no idea he was associated with the Bauhaus.
He was a fascinating man, worth looking into.
Thanks!
I'm glad t was you who had to navigate this rabbit hole.
I'm amazed. This one is so well researched, even higher than your usual high standards.
Thank you for the kind words! A lot of effort went into this one.Hugo Junkers deserves to be known for the great man he was.
Agreed.
Excellent video, very detailed.
Glad you enjoyed it! Hugo Junkers deserves the recognition.
very good!
The Junkers with folding wings is a surprise. I wonder if this was a variant intended for Germany's unfinished aircraft carrier?
It was intended for the Graf Zeppelin carrier
Well that kind of explained why a lot of soviet aircraft looked like they were designed by junkers
Wow. Amazing job. This piece is now the industry standard for intra war aviation docs. Top notch all around. Thank you.
Thank you! I really appreciate that. Stay tuned, more to come.
There must have been some kind of turbulence around the exhaust header of the J 4 .
That's exactly what I was thinking.
super movie
Afraid he signed a deal with another Fokker ! Great job 👍 and the Fokker wasn't even German? Great video.
can we get a short video about the Me p.1091 stufe II & stufe III 🥺
I K Brunell had the same prob when he started building the first iron ship , every one laughed sayin steel does not float , they never heard of Archimedes ? well he shut them aw up in the end , thank god we had pioneers like this or we would still be walkin every where , aye !
Amazing how years later the canard was adopted for the RAF Typhoon
The FB enticing picture looks like someone (Junkers) is using the Grumman paperclip-style folding wings.

I associate Junkers with aero engines and a kind of food.
Open cockpits for the pilots, (and chauffeurs of the era). What was that about?.
That stiff 100+ knot air stream will cure any hang over
To me Junkers is the Ju-52.

It's Concorde.
