The Junkers Ju-52 floatplane can be used in a variety of roles, which includes transport, bombing, dropping paratroops and search & rescue. More importantly it has an effective 'real' water take off and landing system.

A terrain-covering seaplane landing zone has been included which allows this seaplane to land / take off at any time in the 'open' sea and most rivers or lakes. If other planes / objects fall over this zone they hit the water and are destroyed.

The aircraft also operates successfully from 'dirt' airfields. AI can perform water take offs from the seaplane base. In the down load there is a comprehensive guide on how to operate the '52' from the seaplane base and the open ocean. The zip file includes fifteen training missions for the Dover terrain.
