Ideas were taken (stolen) from the German Junkers which used corrugated skins.
Hugo Junkers first constructed Ju 52 had only one engine. It was much too weak, so the series was completed with 3 motors. Previously, Junkers built a single-engine low-wing aircraft, "F 13".


Both trimots shows approximately similar. Ford's interieur was luxury.
