The JU-52 was a contemporary of the DC-3, which was clearly a far more
advanced and noteworthy aircraft.


Contemporary? The Ju-52 first flew in October 1930, more than five years
before the DC-3. That's a fairly long time in a period where aviation
technology was advancing rather rapidly.

The DC-2 (which was as similar to the DC-3 as the Ju-52 was to its latter iterations)
first flew on 1 July 1933. Three years makes them "contemporary" in my book.
