Following its surprise revelation at this year's Spielwarenmesse, Richard Alexander has sent us details of Wingnut Wings' new Junkers D.1, along with photos of the model built superbly by Zdenko Bugan from the Slovak Republic.
Hi,
We are pleased to announce that our next new release will be the revolutionary Junkers D.1 all metal monoplane fighter of 1918 that entered service just before the end of the First World War. The speed and climb performance were excellent and, although the revolutionary design was viewed with suspicion by many pilots more accustomed to traditional biplanes (a suspicion not really overcome well into the 1930s), it was very well regarded by the Marine-Feld-Jasta pilots who flew it. How much action the Junkers D.1 saw before the Armistice is hotly debated but they were used to great effect by Kampfgeschwader Sachsenberg FA 416 in the post war fighting between German Freikorps and Bolshevik (and other) forces in the Baltic during 1919.
