Junkers Ju 52 Multi-Role Transport Aircraft Family
The Junkers Ju 52 was a corrugated-metal transport aircraft family whose prototype first flew in 1930. The single-engine Ju 52/1m evolved into the tri-motor Ju 52/3m, a durable 17-passenger and freight aircraft operated by airlines across Europe and Latin America and later used for military transport, ambulance, training, and other utility duties. Spanish and French license production extended the design’s service life well beyond the original Junkers production run.
