Junkers Jumo 213 — Engine Manuals Collection

A curated collection of 7 primary-source factory documents covering the Junkers Jumo 213 liquid-cooled inverted V-12 aircraft engine, variants A and C. All documents are in German language.

The Jumo 213 was Germany's premier late-war piston engine, powering the Focke-Wulf Fw 190D, Ta 152, Junkers Ju 88, and Ju 188. First test-run in 1940 and declared production-quality in 1943, approximately 9,000 units were produced between 1942 and 1945 before Allied bombing disrupted manufacturing.

Historical Background

Designed by Junkers Flugzeug- und Motorenwerke AG and evolved directly from the Jumo 211, the Jumo 213 was the definitive late-war Junkers powerplant. Its key variants:

• Jumo 213A — Main production version; single-stage, two-speed supercharger
• Jumo 213C — Modified cylinder block to accommodate a Motorkanone (cannon firing through the propeller hub)
• Jumo 213E/F — High-altitude variants with two-stage, two-speed supercharger and intercooler
• Jumo 213J — Experimental 24-valve variant targeting 2,400+ hp; never mass-produced

Post-war, France produced a licensed derivative — the Arsenal 12H — for military and early transport testbeds.
