A classic and innovative aircraft
One of the signs of a ‘classic’ aircraft is how well it is recognised today. The Ju 52 certainly fits the bill with its distinctive corrugated duralumin skin material and the tri-motor engine configuration. Design commenced in 1930 and within two years, both the design and engine testing was complete and they were beginning to fly commercially with airlines in Europe and South America.
