Don`t recall any JU-52s as bombers they add in the description of the youtube title. Could be wrong.

^ They were initially thought as passenger and transport planes, the first versions only had one engine.
But as soon as the RLM ("Reichluftfahrtministerium" for lack of a longer word wink ) intervened it was built for all purposes, e.g. with a removable upper hull plate to install an MG, or some exchangeable metal box at the belly to be removed, and the space used for bombs. I think the only time 52s were used as bombers was during the spanish civil war (?).

What i find interesting is the big "trimming" wheel at the right side of the pilot (from 12:12 on), to adjust the "Hilfsflügel" adding to lift or helping as flaps, while the outer parts also being used as ailerons. There is even a kind of clutch to couple the elevator to it. Seems strange but helped to land the bird almost by itself, when cutting the throttle.

"Eisen Annie" or "Tante Ju" as they were affectionately dubbed were used as interim bombers in Spain briefly, but were withdrawn as being too vulnerable to the 'Ratas' fighters that were appearing on the Repuplican side.

Broadsword calling Danny Boy: Lovely stuff!


In all my years I've never seen the like. It has to be more than a hundred sea miles and he brings us up on his tail. That's seamanship, Mr. Pullings. My God, that's seamanship!

Look for me on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook or Tic Toc...or anywhere you may frequent, besides SimHq, on the Global Scam Net. Aka, the internet.
I am not there, never have been or ever will be, but the fruitless search may be more gratifying then the "content" you might otherwise be exposed to.
