The Junkers J7 was the first in a long line of Junkers fighter monoplanes to incorporate corrugated duraluminum skin molding. The J7 model, which made its debut in 1917, became a valuable prototype test craft for future German monoplane fighters. The J7 missed its chance at greater renown when its entry into the 1918 Aldershof fighter competiton was crashed before the trials. The pilot: Anthony Fokker.
