JU 52 "Tante Ju" flying over Dessau. I photographed the JU in the Dessau Museum of Technology and the view of the town hall is taken from Dessau's Marienkirche.

The Junkers Ju 52 was a German transport aircraft introduced in 1932 and manufactured by Junkers Werke AG in Dessau. It was versatile and reliable and was used for passenger and cargo transport as well as for military use during World War II.

After the war, it was used by several countries as a civilian and military aircraft, but the last Ju 52s were withdrawn in the 1970s. Some examples can be seen in museums and at air shows. The Ju 52 was an important part of aviation history and a testament to the engineering and design skills of Junkers Werke AG.
