Junkers JU 52 History:
The Junkers Ju 52, nicknamed Tante Ju, was a transport aircraft and bomber manufactured by Junkers. It saw both civilian and military service during the 1930s and 1940s. In a civilian role, the aircraft flew with over a dozen air carriers as an airliner and freight hauler. In a military role, it flew with the Luftwaffe as a troop and cargo transport, with a secondary role as a medium bomber.
The Ju 52 first saw military service in the Spanish Civil War, as a bomber and transport aircraft. In the former role it participated in the bombing of Guernica. It was again used as a bomber during the bombing of Warsaw in September 1939. The Luftwaffe then relied on the Ju 52 for transport roles during World War II, including paratroop drops.
Lightly armed, and with a top speed of only 165 mph, the Ju 52 was very vulnerable to fighter attack and an escort was always necessary when flying in a combat zone. During the final phase of the North African Campaign, 24 Ju 52s were shot down in the infamous "Palm Sunday Massacre" on April 18, 1943. Another 35 staggered back to Sicily and crash-landed.
