Fw 200 Condor Units of World War 2: 115 (Combat Aircraft) - Softcover
Book 87 of 126: Combat Aircraft
Synopsis
Initially designed as an airliner, the Fw 200 Condor gained the moniker 'Scourge of the Atlantic' because of its audacious attacks on Allied shipping and the direction of U-boats against convoys. Although eventually outclassed by the Allied introduction of escort carriers and their fighters and longer-range maritime patrol aircraft, the Fw 200 served from 1940 through to 1944.

Paperback. Condition: new. Davey, Chris (illustrator). Paperback. An illustrated history of the 'Scourge of the Atlantic' and its audacious attacks on Allied shipping.The Fw 200 Condor first made an appearance over Norway in April 1940, flying with the unit that eventually become synonymous with it Kampfgeschwader 40. As the war in the west progressed, and German forces advanced, French airfields opened up, allowing the Condor to fly around the UK and out into the Atlantic, where it rapidly established itself as one of the key menaces to Allied shipping. Able to attack shipping directly, or able to guide U-Boats to their prey the Condor scored its first major success when it crippled the liner Empress of Great Britain.But the tables were to turn on the 'Scourge of the Atlantic' as mechanical failures induced by their harsh operating environment and changes in Allied tactics began to take a toll. Vulnerable to aerial attack, the deployment of Allied carriers and their associated fighters combined with the introduction of more loing range maritime patrol aircraft exposed the Condor's deficiencies.Packed with rare first-hand accounts, profile artwork and photographs, this is the history of one of the unsung types to take to the skies during World War 2. An illustrated history of the 'Scourge of the Atlantic' and its audacious attacks on Allied shipping.
