The Junkers Ju-52/3m was produced by the renowned German aviation company from the early 1930s for civilian use with Lufthansa and other major commercial airlines. It was characterised by its three-engine configuration and its distinctive corrugated metal fuselage panels. This robust and reliable aircraft was quickly adopted for military use by the Luftwaffe, mainly as a transport aircraft. The Ju-52, affectionately known as "Aunt Ju", was used on all operational fronts throughout the war and served as the backbone of German military logistics in the supply of ground troops. It was also used for airborne missions, in particular for parachute jumps in the Netherlands in 1940 and on Crete in 1941.
