When you hear the name Junkers, what comes to mind? For most, it’s probably the screaming dive of the Ju 87 Stuka or the rugged Ju 52 hauling paratroopers and supplies across Europe. Junkers aircraft were everywhere during WWII, leaving behind a legacy tied to war and destruction. But the man behind the name, Hugo Junkers, had an entirely different vision for aviation.

Hugo Junkers believed in progress, innovation, and the power of aviation to bring people together. He was an engineer, an inventor, and a pioneer who designed the first practical all-metal airplanes and laid the foundation for modern aircraft design. His Junkers J 1 was a groundbreaking achievement, and his F 13 revolutionized commercial air travel. But his ideas and outspoken opposition to the Nazis ultimately cost him everything—his company, his reputation, and arguably his life.

This video tells the story of Hugo Junkers, a man whose name has been overshadowed by the military use of his planes. From his start as an engineer to his late entry into aviation at the age of 50, we’ll explore how Junkers transformed aircraft design, only to see his legacy twisted into something he never wanted. It’s time to look beyond the bombers and rediscover the real Hugo Junkers—a man who deserves to be remembered for much more than war.
