Junkers Ju 90 Four-Engine Airliner and Transport Family

The Junkers Ju 90 was a large four-engine transport developed from the Ju 89 project for Deutsche Luft Hansa and later used in military transport work. Its all-metal, long-range design represents an important prewar step between early European airliners and the heavy transport families that followed, while the Ju 90 name covered a small set of civil and service configurations rather than a mass-market airliner line.
