Nice video of the FW200C 4-Engine Luftwaffe aircraft

LOL! That one puts a humorous twist on a not-so funny reality. Even though there were rarely more than 40 Condors in service at any given time, with only 20 or so actually flyable, they were a deadly menace to the convoys.

When used properly as a long range patrol aircraft, they proved more than adequate, in spite of their being of poor construction for military use. I suspect the laughs were over for rivalsavage's father and his mates when said condor was done marshaling in a Wolf pack. (I'm glad he survived)

Hermann Goring put paid to the program though when he sent them all to Stalingrad for the airlift operations (for which they were utterly useless) loosing every one. They were never again available in sufficient numbers to be effective.
