He later returned to Germany with Anders J Andersson, a young designer from SAAB. B\u00fccker Flugzeugbau GmbH was founded in Berlin-Johannistahl, in 1932, with the first aircraft to see production being the B\u00fc 131 Jungmann.<br \/>\nB\u00fccker Flugzeugbau&#8217;s first production type, the B\u00fc 131A was the last biplane built in Germany. It had two open cockpits in tandem and fixed landing gear. The fuselage was steel tube, covered in fabric and metal, the wings wood and fabric. It first flew on the 80\u00a0hp (60\u00a0kW) Hirth HM60R.<br \/>\nIn 1936, it was followed by the B\u00fc 131B, with a 105\u00a0hp (78\u00a0kW) Hirth 504A-2.<br \/>\nMost wartime production for the Luftwaffe was by Aero in Prague.<\/p>\n<h3>Operational history<\/h3>\n<p>Sturdy and agile, the B\u00fc 131A was first delivered to the Deutscher Luftsportverband (DLV). The B\u00fc 131B was selected as the primary basic trainer for the German Luftwaffe, and it served with &#8222;virtually all&#8221; the Luftwaffe&#8217;s primary flying schools during the war, as well as with night harassment units such as Nachtschlacht Gruppen (NSGr) 2, 11, and 12. Yugoslavia was the main prewar export customer; &#8222;as many as 400 may have found their way&#8221; there. She was joined by Bulgaria with 15 and Rumania with 40.<br \/>\nProduction licenses were granted to Switzerland (using 94, 88 built under licence to Dornier), Spain (building about 530), Hungary (which operated 315), Czechoslovakia (10, as the Tatra T 131, before war began), and Japan, the last of which built 1,037 for Army with Hatsukaze power as the Kokusai Ki-86 and 339 for the Navy Air Services as the Kyushu K9W. In Spain, production continued at CASA until the early 1960s. The Jungmann was retained as the Spanish Air Force&#8217;s primary basic trainer until 1968.<br \/>\nAbout 200 Jungmanns survive to this day, many having been fitted with modern engines. In 1994, the B\u00fc 131 was restored to production briefly using CASA jigs by B\u00fccker Prado in Spain, with 21 aircraft constructed as the BP 131, while SSH Janusz Karasiewicz in Poland also started production of a version of the Jungmann based on Czech plans in 1994.<\/p>\n<h3>Variants<\/h3>\n<p><strong>B\u00fc 131A<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Two-seat primary trainer biplane.
