The Junkers Ju-52/3m was produced by the famous German aircraft manufacturer starting in the early 1930s for civilian use with Lufthansa and other important commercial companies. It was characterised by its three-engine configuration and its characteristic metal fuselage covered with corrugated metal panels. A robust and reliable aircraft, it was immediately used in the military field by the Luftwaffe, which used it mainly as a transport aircraft.

The Ju-52, affectionately nicknamed “Tante Ju” (Aunt Ju), was used on all operational fronts for the entire duration of the war and was the linchpin of German military logistics in supply operations for ground troops, but was also used for airborne troop launch missions. Its use for the launch of paratroopers in the Netherlands in 1940 or in Crete in 1941 is famous.
