JUNKERS JU-52 CF-ARM A pioneer workhorse in aviation history, this 1931 single-engine aircraft could lift a maximum of three tons. Some of its more distinguishable features include a corrugated aluminum skin as well as large side doors and a hatch in the roof to accommodate awkward loads. The Junkers JU-52/1M was first flown on October 13, 1930. It was a single-engine, cargo-carrying, corrugated metal commercial transport. It played a significant role in the aviation history of Canada’s north. Only five were built; none have survived. One of those five (CF-ARM) was a member of the Canadian Airways Ltd. fleet, the firm founded by James A. Richardson of Winnipeg. For 12 years, between 1931 and 1943, it became known as the “Flying Boxcar”, roaring over Canada’s northland. With large, side-opening doors, it could carry loads no other aircraft could. Just as significant was the large roof hatch that allowed loading heavy items from a crane. <a href="http://wcam.bonecreative.com/1022/junkers-ju-52-cf-arm/" rel="nofollow">wcam.bonecreative.com/1022/junkers-ju-52-cf-arm/</a> |
