It holds the distinction of being the world’s first all-metal monoplane fighter to enter service. Developed by Hugo Junkers, the D.I was made primarily of duralumin, a lightweight yet strong aluminum alloy, which gave it an advantage in durability over the wood-and-canvas planes of its time. Its design reflected Junkers' forward-thinking approach, with a cantilever wing and no external bracing wires, making it a streamlined and innovative aircraft for its era.First deployed to the Western Front in autumn 1918, the Junkers D.I saw limited combat use due to its late introduction. Despite its advanced features, it arrived too late to significantly influence the outcome of the war. However, the few D.I aircraft that did see action were assigned to frontline squadrons, where their pilots appreciated the aircraft's strong airframe and resistance to battle damage. In dogfights, its structural strength provided a degree of survivability that lighter, flimsier aircraft couldn't match. While the D.I wasn’t the fastest plane in the skies, its ability to take hits and remain airborne made it a reliable asset during its short operational period.The Junkers D.I primarily saw service during the final weeks of the war, including in the German defense against Allied counter attacks during the Hundred Days Offensive. The war ended before the D.I could be deployed in large numbers, but its presence marked a significant turning point in military aviation technology. The all-metal design philosophy introduced by Junkers would influence aircraft development for decades to come, setting the stage for the modern age of aviation.This 1:72 scale model captures the innovation and design excellence of the world's first all-metal monoplane fighter. Perfect for aviation collectors and history enthusiasts, this detailed replica is a tribute to an aircraft that was ahead of its time, representing a pivotal moment in the evolution of military aviation.PAYMENT INSTRUCTIONS:We gladly accept paypal.Tracking info is free upon request.SHIPPING INFO:We do combine shipping cost for two or more items purchased.
