FIRST published in 1993 and reprinted two years later,this classic 36 page monograph presents the first really accurate and detailed account of Hugo Junkers' extraordinary metal biplanes.As author Peter Grosz explains the revolutionary J.I... 'precisely fulfilled the roles for which it was designed:low level contour combat,tactical reconnaissance and contact patrol duties...' The J.I proved invulnerable to enemy ground fire thanks to extensive armour plate areas and not a single one was ever brought down in combat.This excellent monograph includes over 60 archive photos; 14 close-up shots showing structure and strut detail plus two pages of 1920 Air Ministry drawn-from-life sketches covering many aspects of the unique airframe.Ray Rimell provides colour and markings text,a kit survey up to 1993 and rear cover profiles offering a choice of three camouflage schemes.
