Warpaint Series No. 81 - Junkers Ju 52

32 pages. Although the Junkers Tri-motor would never achieve the fame and widespread use as its American counterpart, The C-47 Skytrain, it would still carve its niche in the annals of history. Starting life as a single engined machine it quickly added a pair of engines to its corrugated frame at the behest of the German airline DLH. The emergent Luftwaffe would soon latch onto the type using it as a bomber, albeit disguised as a transport by the Legion Condor. Having performed well in Spain the Ju 52 was then built in large numbers as a transport for Germany's 'adventures' across the world between 1939 to 1945. After the war, in both France and Spain production would continue and the aircraft saw combat operations in Vietnam and Morocco. Covers all versions of this rugged transport and features 1/72nd scale plans along with lists of usage and production details.
