Datafile: Junkers Monoplanes at War, #131

I just received my new copy of the Junkers Datafile 131, and I found some errors and some possible errors (I'll be checking those in the next coming weeks). I was curious, anyone else found any questionable errors too?

Question Please let us know WHAT you find...

Dear JumpinJan:

The PIPE Here again...been OUT of work since Sept.19th (lay-off from the financial crisis)...and I AM seriously thinking of getting BOTH the new Datafile you mentioned on "Junkers Monoplanes", AND the similarly-named brand NEW one on the Ansaldo SVA Italian aircraft series. (And YES, I've got BOTH Datafile No.33 AND No.40, concerning those two great subjects!)

One Ron Prestin did up a NICE RC quarter scale SVA 5 for the 2007 ORA event, and photos of it will soon be showing up on my NEW photo page, at clipwings.com .....

...but back to Hugo's Wrinkled Wonders !

Just WHAT sort of errors did you find in your volume "so far"...remember, you DID see those CAD drawings for my future Junkers D I project, not quite "so long ago"...do you think those drawings in the new Datafile are anywhere "close" to being accurate (especially, the Junkers D I) as THAT might be something I could think about taking care of.

Also...how many different types of Junkers aircraft are covered with FULL five-view drawings in that new volume you've got...just the D I, or are the CL I and perhaps a few others (possibly one OR two versions of the J 7 experimental design) also shown in there ???

And "in closing"...where are you getting your latest Datafiles from, as I'd like to know where to get them, now that "Hannan's Runway" stopped carrying the Datafile series within the last year.

Looking forward to hearing back from you...

Yours Sincerely,

The PIPE...WW I AERO issues 197 through 199 are in my library now!

Byrd Aviation Books

I have made Datafile purchases from Byrd Aviation Books in Williamsburg, Virginia. I have been very satisfied with transactions with Mr. and Mrs. Byrd.
