 | | Finally, it was Junkers that developed and placed into combat operation the first successful jet engines, and that the company accomplished it all while under overwhelming assault by the Western Allies’ military power, resources, and technology until Germany’s final defeat is deserving of the highest respect. |
 | | By the early 1930s, Junkers was manufacturing the G-38, a large, four-engine passenger aircraft, with an enormous wing, and soon its successor, famously known as, “Tante Ju,” the ubiquitous Ju 52/3m, appearing in 1932. |
