The Junkers J 1 was built with a skin of corrugated sheet metal rather than the fabric and wood used on most aircraft of its day. Hugo Junkers, an engineer working in Dessau, developed the design during the First World War, and its first flight in late 1915 marked an early step toward all-metal aviation. The record dates this print to 1917 and credits the Oskar Ursinus collection, though the caption details are unverified and have been revised over time.
