Неизвестный Юнкерс. Война и Мы.Авиаконструкторы.

At the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, there was no more hated aircraft at the front than the Junkers-87, which was distinguished by exceptional bombing accuracy and became the main symbol of the blitzkrieg, which was nicknamed “the thing” and “diving death”. The most popular Luftwaffe bomber, the Ju-88, rightfully considered one of the best strike aircraft of World War II, took no less lives. However, Junkers himself is not responsible for all these deaths - a convinced liberal, he refused to cooperate with the Nazis, after which his factories were nationalized, and he himself died virtually under house arrest in February 1935 - six months before the Sturzkampfflugztug (diving bomber) Ju-87 made its first test flight... The long-awaited NEW BOOK from the author of the bestsellers "The Unknown Messerschmitt" and "The Unknown Heinkel" completes the trilogy about the greatest German aircraft designers. This is the only biography of the legendary Hugo Junkers in Russian, which restores the history not only of his life, but also of all the projects of his famous company, which opened the era of regular air transportation for humanity - from the first all-metal aircraft that took off in 1912, to transport and combat vehicles created by students after his death, from the Junkers concession plant in Fili, which became the leader of Soviet aircraft construction, to captured Jumo engines, on which all the first-born jet aircraft of the USSR flew.
