| The angular Ju 52 with its corrugated skinning became a familiar sight in WWII --- it was the Luftwaffe's main transport aircraft. The Ju 52 first flew as a single-engined aircraft; it was soon redesigned to have three engines. Some pre-war aircraft had twin tail fins, but most had single fins. It was also used a bomber, and served as such in the Spanish civil war, but became far better known as a reliable and versatile transport aircraft. 4835 were built, but production did not compensate the losses. Carried 18 seats. |
