In this video, we explore the fascinating and dramatic history of the Focke-Wulf Fw 200 "Condor." Originally designed as a state-of-the-art civilian transport, the Condor was hastily modified into a long-range maritime patrol bomber at the outbreak of WWII. Equipped with a unique ventral gondola, cannons, and heavy bomb loads, these four-engine giants terrorized Allied shipping, coordinated with U-boat wolfpacks, and achieved massive victories like sinking the 42,000-ton Empress of Britain.
But the Condor had a dark side. We’ll cover its critical design flaws, the structural weaknesses that plagued pilots, and the devastating losses it suffered against British CAM-ships and escort carriers. From the freezing skies of Norway and an impossible Arctic rescue mission to the tragic airlift at the Battle of Stalingrad, discover why British test pilot Eric Brown called this converted airliner the ultimate symbol of the Atlantic threat.
