<...>
   В 1923 году первый полет выполнил низкоплан A 20 с аэродинамически чистыми обводами планера и с экипажем из двух человек, которые размещались в открытой кабине тандемом. Самолет A 20 предназначался для перевозки грузов и почты, его запустили в серию после получения разрешения Контрольной комиссии союзников.

THE THIRD INTERNATIONAL AERO SHOW AT PRAGUE
THE GERMAN EXHIBITS

JUNKERS-WERKE, DESSAU

   The type "A" exhibited is a two-seater twin-float seaplane, of usual Junkers construction. The wing is placed low as in the "F" type, but is of much thinner section. The engine is a 160 h.p. Mercedes. The machine is illustrated by a photograph, and does not appear to call for comment. The undercarriage structure supporting the two floats is a somewhat complicated affair, and must offer a considerable amount of resistance. The type "A" has a span of 15-1 m. (49 ft. 6 ins.) and an overall length of 8-4 m. (27 ft. 6 ins.). The wing area is 28 sq. m. (302 sq. ft.) and the total loaded weight is 1,500 kgs. (3,300 lbs.). The machine is stated to have a maximum speed of 170 kms./h. (106 m.p.h.).

The Machines

<...>
   No. 16, the Junkers A.20, has been entered by the Severa Co. of Berlin, and is, like the W.33 and W.34, a twin-float seaplane of the low-wing monoplane type, of standard Junkers, construction. No data relating to this machine are available, beyond the fact that the engine is a Junkers L.5 of 310 h.p.

In August 1925 famous Soviet pilot B G Chukhnovsky attracted a great deal of attention when he flew a J 20 to Novaya Zemlya in support of an Arctic hydrographical expedition.

Fili aircraft production consisted mainly of the assembly of parts and subassemblies made at Dessau in Germany. Work on 20 J 20 floatplanes for the Soviet Air Force started in the autumn of 1923.
A newly-completed and painted J 20 hauled out from the factory on a special temporary transportation 'undercarriage' for the photographer. Floats were fitted later.
The first J 20 tests with skis were made at Fili in February 1924. The tripod crash-bar' protector seems to have been fitted specifically for the occasion.
