Notes:

The exhibited Ju 52 with the factory number 7220 was constructed in the Junkers plant Bernburg. Deutsche Lufthansa commissioned it in 1941 as D-AZAW "Hans Kirschstein". After only one week, it was transferred to the Spanish airline Iberia. In 1942, it started flying for the Spanish air force. For a while, it performed connection flights between Berlin and the stations of the Spanish volunteer group Blue Division which fought at the eastern front for the Germans. It was decommissioned in 1963. In 1966, the Spanish air force handed over the aircraft to the association for the rebuilding of a transport museum in Berlin. It was restored in 1991 with the support of Deutsche Lufthansa AG.
