Aero-Linx!

Scouring the information super airways can sometimes be a tough, if educational, task for the Aero-News staff... but it also allows us to check out some truly neat and exciting sites, so it's not that bad a gig. On any given day, we may check dozens (and often hundreds) of different sources for story ideas, and facts confirmation. And, as is the nature of our business, much of this is done on the Internet.

The ANN gang decided we probably shouldn't keep some of the neat sites, info resources, and organizations we've discovered to ourselves... so we decided to bring you Aero-Linx. These are the sites that WE check out -- when we need added perspective, a new spin on a day's topic... or just want to escape into cyber-aero-space for awhile.

Look for some of our favorite sites, coming each day to ANN via Aero-Linx. Suggestions for future Aero-Linx segments are always welcome, as well.

Aero-Linx: Hugo Junkers Homepage

Heinkel, Messerschmitt, and Dornier made large contributions to the German aviation development. But while they mostly concentrated on the construction and development of aircraft, Hugo Junkers entered the whole spectrum of aviation starting with technological developments, aircraft production, airline activities, airport infrastructures etc. Therefore no one else took more influence on the German Aviation History than Hugo Junkers himself. His international activities made the name Junkers well known from Russia and Scandinavia down to South America and Asia. His all-metal aircraft were used around the world.
