Description:

The Focke-Wulf Fw 200 Condor, also known as Kurier to the Allies was a German all-metal four-engined monoplane originally developed by Focke-Wulf as a long-range airliner.

The Fw 200 resulted from a proposal by Kurt Tank of Focke-Wulf to Dr. Rudolf Stuessel of Deutsche Lufthansa to develop a landplane to carry passengers across
the Atlantic Ocean to the USA. At that time this was unusual, as airlines used seaplanes on long over-water routes. To fly long distances economically,
the Fw 200 was designed to cruise at an altitude of over 3,000 m (9,800 ft) – as high as possible without a pressure cabin.
Existing airliners were designed to cruise at altitudes below 5,000 feet. The Fw 200 was briefly the world’s most modern airliner, until other high-altitude airliners
started operating: the Boeing 307 in 1940 and the Douglas DC-4 in 1942. The designation "Condor" was chosen because, like the condor bird, the Fw 200 had a very long wingspan,
to facilitate high-altitude flight.
