The Bucker Bu-131 Jungmann was a German biplane trainer aircraft that was designed and built by Bucker Flugzeugbau in the 1930s. It was one of the most popular and successful training aircraft in Europe before and during World War II. The Bu-131 had a simple and robust design, with a welded steel tube fuselage and wooden wings covered with fabric. It was powered by a radial engine that gave it good performance and maneuverability.
The Bu-131 was used by many air forces around the world, including Germany, Spain, Switzerland, Japan, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, and Finland. It was also produced under license in Spain, Czechoslovakia, and Japan. The Bu-131 remained in service until the 1960s, and some examples are still flying today as historic aircraft.
