Summary
In 1933, Junkers began the development of a series of high-power gasoline-powered engines. The first of these were the Jumo 210 and 211, liquid-cooled, inverted V-12s ; both of which ran in 1936. The 210 reached 544 kW (730 shp) in the 210 Ga fitted to the Messerschmitt Bf 109C. The larger 211 was first tested in a Junkers Ju 87A, and 68,000 were built during World War II, almost all having direct fuel injection. At the start of World War II, Junkers was engaged in refining the 211 into the more powerful 213. The basic 213 A was rated at 1,324 kW (1,776 shp), while the 213 J, with 4 valves per cylinder, was rated at 1,939 kW (2,600 shp). Deliveries of the 213s reached 9,000 units.
The Junkers Jumo 213 A-1 powered the Junkers Ju 88 u.188. Other models powered versions of the Focke-Wulf Fw 190, Focke-Wulf Ta 152, and Junkers Ju 88.
