         The Junkers J10 was a 
         the type designator for serial production of the combat aircraft 
         Junkers J8. The first flight was performed on May, 4th, 1918 and type 
         approval was certificated under the IDFLIEG designation Junk CL1 during 
         the same month. In June 1918 IDFLIEG placed an order for initial 10 
         CL1-aircraft. Six (probably 8) aircraft were delivered until November 
         1918. The remaining aircraft of totally 44 built, were delivered after 
         the end of WWI. Most of the postwar production aircraft were used at 
         the Baltic regions, where Gotthard Sachsenberg's unit was placed for 
         the defence of the German border against Soviet attacks.  
          
         At least one or two J10s were modified to passenger aircraft after the 
         end of WWI. They were equipped with a hood, which was placed above the 
         rear seat. In March 1919 Junkers Luftverkehr started initial passenger 
         and cargo services between Dessau and Weimar during the National 
         Convent with a J10.  
          
         The J10 was also the basic design for the further improved Junkers A20, 
         which was built after WW I as a cargo and mail aircraft. In sofar the 
         J10 design was the beginning of a whole Junkers aircraft family, which 
         was produced at Junkers Flugzeugwerke throughout the end of the 20s.
