A classic design even for the 1930s, but with a low wing The Junkers JU 52, “Iron Annie”, was a transport
aircraft made from 1932 to 1945. It followed the Ford Tri-motor, nicknamed “The Tin Goose,” which is
also in our collection. The original Tri-Motor was the first three-engine., corrugated aluminum, civil
transport aircraft produced starting in 1925 by Henry Ford. See
production was shortly discontinued in 1933 due to advancements in aircraft design. The JU 52 only had a top speed
of 165 MPH. In a civilian role, it flew, as a seventeen-seat passenger liner, with over 12 air carriers including Swissair
and Lufthansa as an airliner and freight hauler. In a military role, it flew with the Luftwaffe as a troop
and cargo transport. In limited use, it served as a light bomber, mainly in Spain and Crete. Surprisingly, the Ju 52 continued
in postwar service with military and civilian air fleets well into the 1980s while the Ford lasted as third-level airline until
the 1960s. As of 2008, there were eight airworthy Ju 52 remaining in operation, four of which operate pleasure
flights from Düsseldorf airport in Germany and eight static displays in museums worldwide, three of which are in the
United States
