Todays celebrated famous birthday of the day is Hugo Junkers

Junkers was a pioneering German engineer who held many patents for his original developments in the fields of gas engine and aircraft design. He had innovative ideas about metal airplanes and flying wings, but the realities of war hampered his ability to develop them. During World War II, his company was taken over by the Nazis. Junkers, a pacifist and a socialist, protested the take-over, was sentenced to house arrest, and died soon after. What was the "Sheetmetal Donkey"?
