The Junkers Ju 52 was a German transport aircraft manufactured by Junkers Flugzeug- und Motorenwerke AG during the 1930s and 1940s. It was designed for both civilian and military use and was one of the most widely used airliners and cargo planes of its time. The aircraft was a three-engine, trimotor design with a distinctive corrugated metal

Design and development In June 1940, Dornier produced plans for a further development of the Do 217, which would have a pressurized cabin and more powerful engines (DB 604, BMW 802 or Jumo 222). Designated Do 317, it was one of the proposals submitted to the RLM for the "Bomber B" project. Two versions of the Do 317 were proposed: the simplified Do 317A, powered by two DB 603A engines and

The Junkers Ju 88 was a German World War II Luftwaffe twin-engined multirole combat aircraft. Junkers Flugzeug- und Motorenwerke (JFM) designed the plane in the mid-1930s as a so-called Schnellbomber (fast bomber) that would be too fast for fighters of its era to intercept.

Even the first series BMW 801A saw a performance jump in so-equipped Ju 88 that was especially noticable in the 43/44 draggy radar-equipped night fighters. The Ju 88S was streamlined and fast )equipped with 801 G-2 + GM-1 option) although the internal load was still very much limited, the extended bombbay of the last S-series offered more but
