Munich - Junkers Ju 52/3m
The Lufthansa Junkers Ju 52/3m, D-ANOY, named "Rudolf von Thüna" on display at the visitor's center of Munich airport.
The Ju 52/3m is a trimotor transport aircraft manufactured from 1931 to 1952 - post WWII production was at Avions Amiot in France ("Amiot AAC 1 Toucan") and at Casa in Spain ("CASA 352" and "CASA 352L").
The airplane was initially designed as a single-engine aircraft, but finally produced as a trimotor hence the /3m suffix in the designation (3m = 3 Motoren = 3 engines).
Junkers Flugzeugwerk pioneered civil air transport like no other company - already in 1919 the Junkers F 13 was the world's first all-metal transport aircraft (the 1925 Ford Trimotor just copied the structural principles from the pioneer work of Hugo Junkers).
