About the military usage. Ju 52 was also used as a reconaissance plane. For example in Norway 1940. For this it was quite useful, as it could be airborne 10 hours. One such had an emergency landing in Sweden, Grums, 16 april 1940. This had also some defensive weaponry of 3 machine guns. The crew of 3 had personal handguns./StefanZ, Sweden.

I've got several good photos of the JU52 at the USAF museum at Wright Patterson in Dayton, including closeups, but I have no idea how to upload them and incorporate them into this article. Graham, sacrificial at aanet dot com dot au

Swissair never used the Ju-52! Only the Swiss air force operated the JU until 1981. Actually JU-AIR is operating with 4 machines (3 ex swiss air force, 1 CASA 352) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.79.155.245 (talk) 13:51, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

There is need of including the civilian operators of the transport version of Ju 52. I suppose that Germany (Lufthansa) and Switzerland (Swissair) are two of the countries that used it commercially. Please Expand.Francisco Valverde 08:49, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

I've just added three more countries, but section about civilian operators will be huge. I'll try to expand it later but any help will be welcomed. --Piotr Mikołajski 09:32, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

• • That's listed now, one of the 5 non-flyers we list. There are actually a lot of them about, with 27 in Blewett's Survivors (2007) D-list (for non-flyers "on display, not necessarily to public or in good condition"). We don't need to list them all!TSRL (talk) 20:35, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Numbers

It's probably impossible to be sure how many were built, but

• a) it would be good to know where the figure of 4845 came from, and
• b) we should acknowledge that other estimates are about, for example Blewett's Survivors suggests 5415; when we don't know we should say so.TSRL (talk) 22:51, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Questions

Three of them:

• Should we not include the Spanish and French built versions in the versions list? They are mentioned the text and are not different enough (I think) to warrant an article of their own. They did form about 10% of production and 3 of the eight survivors are CASAs

• It seems a bit misleading to give the role as military transport, though that's what it mostly did. It had a significant civil role, though so why not just transport?

• There are a lot of principle users listed; I though we usually stuck to one or two, max: if so, just Luftwaffe?

and a comment:

the article does seem a bit light on its airliner days and could do with more on its Lufthansa, Swissair etc. service. The list of Swissair aircraft at the Swissair page does not include any Ju 52s! Anyone know about this?TSRL (talk) 10:41, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Another Q: I've seen photos of the Minesweeping, ringed J 52 and of Ju52s on skis. Photos of Ju 52s on floats seem pretty rare on the web (lots of models, I know): but does anyone know of a picture of a floatplane minesweeper?TSRL (talk) 20:25, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Re Numbers

Hi all, I found in a book at home the same number 4845, its a German edition of a presumably English original by Salamander Books (1976).The book is called "Kampfflugzeuge" by "Buch und Zeitverlagsgesellschaft mbH,Cologne". I can find a German order Nr(9185) but no ISBN. Chiefeditor was Jain Parsons, in case someone is capable of tracing the book.

In another Book "Enzyklopädie der Flugzeuge" ISBN 3-89350-055-3 also presumably a German translation of an English orginal a "ca.4850" is given as estimated production number.

Further on there is a webcommunity devoted to the works of Hugo Junkers, it has information on nearly all products of Junkers including the Ju 52. They have an overview of all Production Numbers (Werksnummer) but i was too lazy and busy to count em all. Otherwise we might get in contact with the folks of that page and see if they can help us concerning the correct numbers. http://hugojunkers.pytalhost.com/ju_ju52_a1.htm

I'm lazy too :) so here is a way to count the entries under Linux - every entry has a preceding <hr> element:

wget http://hugojunkers.pytalhost.com/ju_ju52_p1.htm
grep "<hr>" ju_ju52_p1.htm | wc -l

Rror (talk) 17:02, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

contd. Numbers

So the count did not match any estimation or numbers so far mentioned..ruling them out. I checked other books here concerning military airtransport but found nothing on the Ju 52. My last resort, I still got my grandpa which I will be visiting in a couple days who was a Ju 52 crewmember in early WW2, he also has a lot of literature on "his" planes including older publications too. I will check things there once more and might come back with some more info. I will also check for the swimmer Minesweeper version. Otherwise we still could talk to the people of the junkers comunity or, there is even a somehow comercial website about the legacy of Hugo Junkers but it is rather small and content concerning the ju 52 is nearly inexistant. This website is called the official Hugo Junkers website and the Impressum states the following: "Impressum Das Projekt Junkers.de soll umfassend über das Leben und Werk Hugo Junkers' informieren und einen Einblick geben in die Person dieses großen deutschen Erfinders und Industriellen. Mit Junkers.de möchte Bernd Junkers, ein Enkel Hugo Junkers', das Andenken seines Großvaters wahren und verbreiten." Suggesting the project is supposed to be his grandsons public memorial to his grandfather. Also the website seems to have some high quality partners such as the Deutsches Museum. www.junkers.de So getting in contact with them might also give us some further information. (MaximPower (talk) 01:58, 24 December 2008 (UTC))

I think one must regard the count on the Junkers site only as a fairly reliable lower limit, though surprisingly low. The piece of code will miss a few, because not all entries are ruled off but those (10, 20?) will have little impact on the difference between 1700 and 5000. I'd guess this is because the Junkers site is incomplete. It's the case that Blewitt says the numbers are not known, and he worries about pre-war numbers but an estimate is 5315. He certainly tries to include Spanish and Amiot production, including those built post war. Do the two German books which give around 4850 include these? If not, the total will go to around 5400 (speaking from memory, away from sources at the moment). For now, I'd be inclined to say uncertain but c.5000. Given thae stae of things during WW2, we may never know exactly.TSRL (talk) 09:12, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Actually it was good that you asked whether my sources said German planes or overall production. Actually the 1976 book says: "4845 German made Ju 52, 400 were made in France as AAC 1,and 170 in Spain as CASA 352-L" This is the book for which i do not have a ISBN nr.

My other one (ISBN 3-89350-055-3) just says: "overall production of all versions is estimated to be around 4850".

I am a bit reluctant to believe in the numbers mentioned in the first book cause i can not relate it to further sources to proof the correctness of the stated numbers. The book was printed in Belgium by "Proos, Turnhout" (1977) while the original must have been published in 1976 by Salamander books. As already said before Jain Parsons is stated as chiefeditor and the people responsible for the Layout were Chris Steer and Malcom Little. Maybe someone is able to get the english/original title of the book so we can verify its sources somehow. (MaximPower (talk) 12:53, 24 December 2008 (UTC))

If we believe your first book for a moment, we have about 5420, only 100 more than Blewitt (perhaps should contact him?). I seem to remember the Junkers pages referred to a Hungarian production run (not counted by Rrors code) and one might might wonder about production at Junkers old external sites at Malmo and Moscow. Maybe c.5500?TSRL (talk) 22:14, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Unfortunately we did not have any more literature concerning the Ju 52 at my grandpas, at least nothing concerning the solution to our question of the production numbers. We checked the, up to now 3 editions, of the Boelcke Squadron Chronic, nothing. I went on an internet search concerning the Salamander books printing company and found many small magazines on war planes which usually comprise 60something pages.I could imagine my book from 1977 is a collection of the british magazines from 1976 but so unless someonce is able to track the book and the english original I wouldnt count the source. But I could also scan the page and let whomever wants to, verify it.(its in german) (MaximPower (talk) 00:31, 29 December 2008 (UTC))

hi need help to give citation that the Lebanese air force operated junkers ju 52

Hi I am Lebanese, i dont recall that the Lebanese air force ever used Junkers ju 52, need help form my fellow editors to give citation that the Lebanese air force used this air plane

Its not mentioned that junkers was used even in the Lebanese air force official website, no evidence that we used it — Preceding unsigned comment added by Karim Rustof (talk • contribs) 10:59, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

While a cite is needed - probably in the Operators sub article (which does not mention Lebanon), it is possible that any Lebanese aircraft might be civil rather than military - possibly ex-French?Nigel Ish (talk) 11:37, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

I am sure that Air Liban started with three ex French Air Force or possibly Air France Toucans. Refer http://aerobernie.ae.funpic.de/Air%20Liban.html propable more refs if we search on registrations LR-AAC, LR-AAI or LR-AAJ. MilborneOne (talk) 12:42, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

Hi Thank you for your feed back

Wing engines

The two wing engines appear to angle slightly outward from the centerline of the fuselage. I'm not aware of this feature appearing on any other aircraft. Is there an explanation? Sca (talk) 23:15, 1 March 2014 (UTC)

Not unusual in the 20s and 30s, if one engine is lost the good engine will help pull the aircraft straighter - if they are in line of flight as is now common the good engine often has to be throttled back as it will cause excessive yaw. NiD.29 (talk) 07:58, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

Another plane with a slight toe-out on the engines is the Burnelli UB-14. Jan olieslagers (talk) 09:45, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

Interesting. On the JU 52 they appear to be almost at right angles to the leading edge of the tapered wings. Sca (talk) 19:18, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

Something similar seems to have happened on the Short Sunderland, see http://uboat.net/allies/aircraft/sunderland.htm Jan olieslagers (talk) 19:48, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

The Sunderland was an unusual case - it was originally designed to be fore and aft but a honking great gun was removed from the nose late in the design phase and the resulting c of g shift was fixed by rotating the wings back - without changing the engine nacelles. The final member of the Sunderland family, the Short Solent had this rectified with the engines re-aligned in its final variant with a corresponding improvement in performace - wartime priorities prevented it from being changed earlier. (talk) 03:14, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

The angling of engines is referred-to as 'toe-out' when angled in the way of the Ju52/3m and Sunderland, and as 'toe-in' for the opposite angles. The term refers to the engine thrust line and is also applied to angled jet engine nozzles such as on the Comet/Nimrod. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.150.11.194 (talk) 15:52, 25 June 2016 (UTC)

The explanation given for the Sunderland's engine toe-out seems implausible (the wings were angled back during design modification angling the nacelles with it) because the inboard and outboard nacelles are at two different toe-out angles, the outboard being greater. There is only one reason for toe-out and that is engine-out yaw reduction. As far as the statement about toe-out reducing/eliminating the need for throttling back the good engine in an engine out scenario, more accurately it simply means less trim is required. It will reduce the amount of rudder required allowing for a smoother engine-out transition for the pilot especially if manual controls are used and time is required to set the trim. Anticipated engine reliability (or lack thereof) is what drove the toe-out feature. By the time of the Solent the designers were much more confident of engine reliability. Modern jet airliners actually have engine toe-in to line up jet thrust with local airflow for less drag. JetMec (talk) 05:23, 1 October 2016 (UTC)

Both the Ju52/3m and the Sunderland were designed before fully-feathering propellers were generally available, and so performance and handling with an engine out may have been the reason. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.150.18.150 (talk) 10:54, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

NiD.29 is correct Re; the Sunderland. The original design had a Vickers 37mm cannon in the nose but this was replaced by a lighter FN.11 gun turret, and a heavier FN.13 four-gun turret added at the tail, which moved the centre of gravity rearwards, and to offset this the wings were swept-back by 4.5-degrees. The nacelles were left unchanged.

Additional Information - production and load capacity

I should like to add the following information, perhaps at the end of the development section or before the "Heavy losses in combat section"? The source is "German Air Force Air Lift Operations", by GeneralMajor Fritz Morzik, USAF Historical Division, 1961. Perhaps this section could start a new section called "World War II" with the "Heavy Losses in Combat" section being made into a sub-title?

While in use by the Deutsche Lufthansa the Ju-52 had proved to be an extremely reliable passenger airplane and was therefore adopted by the Luftwaffe as a standard aircraft model. In 1938, the 7th Air Division had five air transport groups with 250 Ju 52s’. The Luftwaffe had 552 Ju 52s at the start of World War II. Even though it was built in great numbers, the Ju.52 was technically obsolete. Between 1939 and 1944, 2.804 Ju-52s were delivered to the Luftwaffe (1939: 145; 1940: 388; 1941: 502; 1942:503; 1943:887; and 1944:379). The production of Ju- 52’s continued until approximately the summer of 1944 and when the war came to an end there were still 100-200 of them available.

The Ju.52 could carry eighteen fully equipped soldiers, or twelve stretchers when used as an air ambulance. Transported material was loaded and unloaded through side doors by means of a ramp. Air dropped supplies were jettisoned through two double chutes; supply containers were dropped by parachute through the bomb-bay doors, and paratroopers jumped through the side doors. Half-track motorcycles (kettenkraftrad) and parachute troops' supply packs were secured under the fuselage at the bay exits and were dropped with four parachutes. A tow coupling was built into the tail-skid for use in towing freight gliders. The Ju 52 could tow up to two DFS-30 gliders.Sitalkes (talk) 23:39, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

After the words "Thus, almost an entire year's production was lost in the Netherlands". I should like to add: After the campaign in the West, the air transport units were brought up to their pre-Holland strength and were assembled at airfields in the Lyon, Lille, and Arras areas in August 1940. (ref: Page 50, "German Air Force Air Lift Operations", by GeneralMajor Fritz Morzik, USAF Historical Division, 1961). Probably this was done using new and repaired aircraft augmented by other transport planes like the FW-200 Condor and the Ju 90.

Surviving Aircraft

There is a JU-52/1m (modified from a JU-52/3m) at the Royal Aviation Museum of Western Canada, but it is not shown in the Surviving Aircraft section. Why not?

Because wikipedia is a work in progress so nobody has got around to it yet, no reason if you have a reliable source why you cant add it yourself. MilborneOne (talk) 17:22, 6 August 2018 (UTC)
