Reviews
...provides a competent and wide-ranging general history along with possibly unique and detailed coverage of foreign civilian and military use, foreign production and preserved aircraft...Jan Forsgren's authoritative and wide-ranging text covers all Ju 52 variants - illustrated with some 150 photos including 44 in colour - and includes chapters on projected replacements and survivors with appendices listing the extensive French and Spanish production. --Luftwaffe Blog This book covers the complete story of the Junkers 52 from its predecessors that led to its development all the way through to the surviving examples today. It is a comprehensive and detailed look at where the Junkers 52/3m came from, its extensive use with both civilian and military operators and contains a lot of details of of its usage around the world from 1932 to 1982. It is quite surprising to learn just how widely used the Junkers 52/3m was and that its wartime use with the Luftwaffe is just one chapter in its story. --Model Builder International
