Launched in 1929 as aports and leisure aircraft, the A.50 Junior was a victim of its relatively high price in the depression era. Of planned production of 5000, only 69 were built and only 50 sold.
One of Junker’s early customers was the German aviator Marga von Etzdorf, who became the first woman to fly from Europe to Japan, piloting her bright yellow A50 Junior from Berlin to Tokyo in 1931. Her 12-day flight included crossing the rugged Ural Mountains and desolate Siberian wastes, while navigating with only a map and compass.
