This photo belongs to a patron of our library and I have no clue as to who built this plane...I was guessing maybe Junkers.

Anyone know what it is?



Thanks

I think its a Junkers W33 or W34, but I'm probably wrong :-) .

I have to agree with Andy on the Junkers - not sure of the model though.

That is a Junkers W34 - the earlier W33 had an inline Junkers engine. http://www.geocities.com/hjunkers/ju_w33_a1.htm

was this one that was in the development of the JU 52 or was it a sidebar...kind of like the Caribu to the Hercules?

i read somewhere that the original JU52 design was a single engined aircraft, but it ended up with three because of low power/safety issues. and this machine does look like a single engined 52 so i wonder if it was a forerunner aircraft
