The Junkers Ju 52 (nicknamed Tante Ju ("Auntie Ju") and Iron Annie) was a German trimotor transport aircraft manufactured from 1932 to 1945. It saw both civilian and military service during the 1930s and 1940s. In a civilian role, it flew with over 12 air carriers including Swissair and Deutsche Luft Hansa as an airliner and freight hauler. In a military role, it flew with the Luftwaffe as a troop and cargo transport and briefly as a medium bomber. The Ju 52 continued in postwar service with military and civilian air fleets well into the 1980s.

- Junkers Ju 52 (kutsumanimeltään Tante Ju, Jusz-täti) oli saksalainen matkustaja- ja kuljetuskone.
- The Junkers Ju 52 was a three engine, troop transport-type aircraft used by the Luftwaffe during World War II.
- The first Ju 52 production model made for the military was designated the Ju 52/3mge. Conceived as the last in a long line of corrugated metal skinned aircraft, the Ju 52 was a low wing cantilever monoplane, with a fixed undercarriage and tail skid, and powered - in its original form - by a single engine located in the nose. Designed primarily as a transport aircraft, the Ju 52 had a 590 cu ft (16.7 cu m) cargo hold, accessed via a large horizontally divided door, of which the lower section served as a loading platform. a number of smaller doors provided access to the auxiliary compartments aft of the main cabin and below the floor. The type could also be used as a 15-17 passenger airliner.

- The Junkers Ju 52 was a three engine, troop transport-type aircraft used by the Luftwaffe during World War II.
- The first Ju 52 production model made for the military was designated the Ju 52/3mge. Conceived as the last in a long line of corrugated metal skinned aircraft, the Ju 52 was a low wing cantilever monoplane, with a fixed undercarriage and tail skid, and powered - in its original form - by a single engine located in the nose. Designed primarily as a transport aircraft, the Ju 52 had a 590 cu ft (16.7 cu m) cargo hold, accessed via a large horizontally divided door, of which the lower section served as a loading platform. a number of smaller doors provided access to the auxiliary compartments aft of the main cabin and below the floor. The type could also be used as a 15-17 passenger airliner. The total weight of the aircraft was around 5,700 kilograms empty with a total length of around 18.8 meters. Wingspan meanwhile was around 29 meters. The Ju 52's power came from three BMW 123A-3 engines that were capable of propelling it at speeds of up to 265 kilometers per hour. Operational range was 1,000 kilometers with a service ceiling of 5,900 meters. The Ju 52 in service was troublesome, with a limited armament that oftentimes caused it to be shot down with very little trouble by patrolling allied aircraft. However, compared to almost any other German transport aircraft, the Ju 52 was certainly the most reliable. It was easy to maintain and was not phased by weather conditions often, though some exceptions were made in the Stalingrad campaign such as being forced to heat the engines with campfires placed under the aircraft.
