The Junkers K 39 was a Junkers A 32 converted by the Swedish branch of the Junkers company in Limhamn , which was to be offered for military purposes. For this purpose, one of the two A 32s built in Dessau in 1926 was flown to Sweden and converted there by AB Flygindustri .
history
For the K 39, the cell of the Junkers A 32 was extended by three machine gun positions and a device for dropping light bombs (100 kg in total). The observer in the lower part of the fuselage should also be responsible for the downward defense in a command post . The weak BMW engine was replaced by a Junkers L55 with 600 hp, which, however, did not result in any noteworthy performance increases. Sales negotiations ended without a contract, however, as the Junkers machine was inferior to the French and British competitors in terms of price and technology.
It stayed with a converted copy.
