Focke-Wulf Fw 200 Condor / Kurier Long-Range Aircraft Family
The Focke-Wulf Fw 200 Condor began as a long-range four-engine airliner for Deutsche Lufthansa and became one of the most recognizable land-based maritime reconnaissance aircraft of the Second World War. Its transoceanic record flights demonstrated the potential of a large landplane on intercontinental routes, while military variants extended the same airframe into patrol, transport, and long-range strike operations over the Atlantic.
