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.
The Ju 388, a high altitude reconnaissance, bomber, and night fighter characterized by its graceful, elongated cockpit enclosure, extended wings, and enlarged engine nacelles, were perhaps the most aesthetically pleasing of the entire series.

 The forgotten birth of a legend - Bolivian Ju-52s of the Gran Chaco War
Junkers workers at the Dessau factory immediately began to convert airframes (werkenummern: 4008 named "Juan del Valle" and 4009 "Huanuni"), the Ju-52/3m was born.
This led the Bolivian airforce/ LAB personnel who operated the aircraft to take extraordinary precautions such as camouflaging the aircraft but even so the heavy Junkers transports were used a bit conservatively for fear of loosing them to a Paraguayan bombing or strafing attack.
As early as April 1931 Junkers engineers had rigged up a Ju-52/1m with wooden mockups of engine nacelles to investigate the aerodynamic implications of any possible conversion of the Ju-52/1m to a three engine configuration.

While Junkers did develop the first all metal single seat fighter in 1915, most of his life was a struggle to keep the aircraft business going.
