engines low wing cantilever monoplane with fixed undercarriage
and tail skid all metal corrugated duralumin skin, powered
in its original form by a single engine in the nose. The Ju
52 was fitted with Junkers doubled wing, a full span auxiliary
flying surface hinged to the wing trailing edge, which provided
the aircraft with both ailerons and flaps. Designed primarily
as a transport aircraft, the Junkers Ju 52, entered service
on the Berlin to London and Berlin to Rome routes in 1932
and eventually formed 85% of Deutsche Lufthansa airline's
fleet. In 1934 a military version of the Ju 52 was produced
for the Luftwaffe the aircraft was designed as a heavy bomber
for a crew of four. Junkers Ju 52/3m is on display at the
