On display at Deutsches Museum München. The F-13 was the world's first metal airliner, built using corrugated duralumin. On Armistice Day, Hugo Junkers ordered a switch from military to commercial aircraft. First flying on 26 June 1919, the F-13 carried four passengers in an enclosed cabin complete with cushioned seats, the first to provide passenger seatbelts, lighting and large windows. The original D-366, c/n 723 was named "Eismöwe" and operated by Deruluft. Due to its size and economy, many airlines started operations with the F-13, of which 322 were built.
