Starting out as a three engined transport, the JU52 served as a bomber, aerial ambulance, floatplane, minesweeper (with a magnetic ring), glider tug, and other roles to numerous to mention. In October 1930 the first Ju-52 flew and demonstrated the double wing technique of full flaps and ailerons, which gave the aircraft tremendous lift and a short take off. Only 5 Ju-52s were built as the 3m versions with 3 engines instead of the single one of the prototype proved to have much better performance.
