FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The Focke-Wulf Fw 200 Condor was conceived for peace but turned to a warlike purpose savaging convoys bringing vital supplies to Britain. The aircraft Churchill called "the scourge of the Atlantic" became synonymous with the struggle to supply the Allies by sea. As a truly long-range reconnaissance bomber, the Condor acted as the eyes and ears of the Kriegsmarine, while packing a powerful punch itself. As the Allies stepped up their efforts to address the vulnerability of their convoys to aerial reconnaissance and attack, however, the Fw 200s weaknesses became ever more apparent. Naval aviation author Matthew Willis tackles the career of the feared aircraft, from its beginnings as a cutting-edge airliner, through its early development into a military transport and a maritime bomber and spyplane, including the addition of ever more armament and technology such as radar and the carriage of radio-controlled glider bombs. From the expanses of the Atlantic, via the freezing Arctic seas to the heat and dust of North Africa, the operational history of the Fw 200 is examined Review "I strongly recommend this book. It is well written, and its photographs are nicely curated and clearly presented. Willis and Tempest Books show that a book small in size is not necessarily small in content or impact."-- "The Journal of the Air Force Historical Foundation""Tempest Books has provided us with a new and impressive resource for the study of the Fw 200. The historical and technical content may hold some surprises for the reader, and it is definitely interesting to read. The excerpts from diaries and reports expand the content beyond the ordinary history of the Condor."-- "Aeroscale""This book is very interesting reading, as it goes through the various careers of the aircraft, describing the modifications for each basic type, and the operational use that resulted. There are many photos, suitably explained, which illustrate the variants in the discussion."-- "IPMS""The book will be of great interest to modelers, who plan on wanting to build a FW-200 and to aviation historians alike."-- "AMPS Indianapolis" Details ISBN1911658654 Pages 116 Publisher Mortons Media Group Series Eagles Of The Luftwaffe ISBN-10 1911658654 ISBN-13 9781911658658 Short Title Eagles of the Luftwaffe: Focke-Wulf Fw 200 Condor Language English Format Paperback Subtitle Eagles of the Luftwaffe Imprint Mortons Media Group Place of Publication Horncastle Country of Publication United Kingdom Author Mathew Willis Year 2023 AU Release Date 2023-06-15 NZ Release Date 2023-06-15 DEWEY 623.7464 Audience General Publication Date 2023-07-28 UK Release Date 2023-07-28 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
