[WWI] Calling Matt Bittner!!!!

[Douglas Anderson]

In answer, no, it wasn't stressed skin. Junkers was one of the pioneers of stressed skin construction, but probably his best example, the Ju 88, required he import a couple of engineers from the US in order to finalise the design.

Sorry List. But while I'm here, let me ask an OT question:
I just finished the first look at the Rodent Jinkers D.1 and made a comment or two about how revolutionary it was, being all metal and whatnot. But it got me thinking. I don't think anyone disputes that Hugo Junkers was a pioneer in all metal aircraft design. But was it really ingenious of him, or was it just inevitable, and he just happened to be the first to get it offthe ground?

Were Junkers designs stressed skin or did that come later?
