(a) Ju 52s were used to transport men, correspondence, supplies, ammunition and spare parts to Luftwaffe airfields throughout France. Ju 52 A7+HK of the Luftverhkehrsgruppe was found burnt out at Cazaux on 25 September and that unit had been carrying all these things to bases in Italy and France.
(b) I'd say it was a land plane because of the unit it belonged to.
(c) Yes.
