Junkers EF 61
From PlaneSpottingWorld, for aviation fans everywhere
The Junkers EF 61 airplane was based on the Junkers Ju 49, and was one of the few German high-altitude bomber and reconnaissance projects before the World War II. The project started in September 1935 and the maiden flight took place on 4 March 1937, but in September of that year the plane was destroyed in a crash. The second prototype was ready in late 1937 but also crashed in December 1937, even before high altitude testing had started. After that the project was abandoned. The project eventually lead to the high altitude reconnaissance aircraft of the Junkers Ju 86 type in World War II.
