| | Junkers Ju-52/53 |
 | | The Ju 52 tri-motor, like the USAF C-47, was first built in the 1930s yet remained in service for more than a quarter century. |
 | | The Ju 52 was obsolete as a bomber by 1939, but because of its durability, simplicity of design, and handling characteristics it continued to serve throughout WW II as a versatile workhorse of the German transport fleet. |
 | | Ju 52s delivered the attacking forces and their supplies during the German invasion of Norway, Denmark, France and the Low Countries in 1940. |
