Bűcker Bű-133C Jungmeister
Carl Clemens Bűcker, born 1895, spent some of his working life in Sweden before he, together with the constructor Anders J. Andersson, founded the firm of Bűcker Aircraft Works in Berlin in 1932.
His first success was the Bű 131 Jungmann (Young Man) in 1934, a two-seater sports- and acrobatic training-plane in the characteristic biplane construction. From 1935 on the German Air Force employed this type for training, and from 1936 100 of these machines were built in Switzerland (by Dornier Altenrhein).
From 1935 onwards Bűcker also produced the single-seater Bucker 133 Jungmeister (Young Master). Again the German Air Force was the first to buy, placing large orders, and the Swiss followed its example (52 machines, of which 46 were constructed in Switzerland). These aeroplanes served as acrobatic-training planes for military pilots between 1937 and 1968. In 1969 the Swiss Air Force presented the remaining machines to the Swiss Aero-Club. There many of them are still flying today."
