Junkers F13 or Junkers larsen JL-6

Post by Navy one »

Something I build last week.
Very few pictures exist of the JL-6 in US navy service.
Those I could find still were in factory livery.
Three planes were delivered to the navy in the 1920's.
I imagine they looked a bit like this.

Very cool. I didn't know that the US Navy flew Junkers aircraft.

That's an interesting permutation. I hadn't realised the US Navy operated these.

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

That looks great - the classic U.S. Navy "Yellow Wings" scheme looks good on just about anything IMHO. I didn't realise that the USN ever operated this type either.
