L’ancêtre : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junkers_J_1

The J 1 was constructed and flown only 12 years after the Wright Brothers had first flown the “Flyer I” biplane in December 1903. On 12 December 1915, the aircraft made its brief maiden flight, flown by Leutnant Theodor Mallinckrodt of FEA 1, during which an altitude of almost 3 m (9.8 ft) was reached. Greater altitudes and performance was achieved during subsequent flights. By the end of January 1916, Junkers had been given a contract to further develop his all-metal concept, and the later Junkers J 2 single-seat fighter, which would never see frontline service, was the follow-on to the J 1. It is believed that the Junkers J 1 was not flown again after January 1916. In 1926, it was placed on static display at the Deutsches Museum in Munich. During December 1944, the J 1 was destroyed during an Allied strategic bombing raid on the city.
