The German Bücker Bü 131 “Jungmann” (Young man) was a 1930s basic training aircraft which was used by the Luftwaffe during World War II.
Sturdy and agile, the Bü 131A was first delivered to the Deutscher Luftsportverband (DLV). The Bü 131B was selected as the primary basic trainer for the German Luftwaffe, and it served with “virtually all” the Luftwaffe’s primary flying schools during the war, as well as with night harassment units such as Nachtschlacht Gruppen (NSGr) 2, 11, and 12.
In Spain, production continued at CASA until the early 1960s. The Jungmann was retained as the Spanish Air Force’s primary basic trainer until 1968.

Trivia: After serving in the Kaiserliche Marine in World War I, Carl Bücker moved to Sweden where he became managing director of Svenska Aero AB (Not to be confused with Svenska Aeroplan AB, SAAB). He later returned to Germany with Anders J Andersson, a young designer from SAAB. Bücker Flugzeugbau GmbH was founded in Berlin-Johannisthal, in 1932, with the first aircraft to see production being the Bü 131 Jungmann.
