Re: Fw 200 in the Battle of Britain
Larry...
Couldn't find any reference to Condors being used in daylight raids during Battle of Britain, but thought you might be interested to know they were used on night missions during the last four days of August, 1940, against the Liverpool/Birkenhead area. This information is contained in German Aircraft of the Second World War by J R Smith & Anthony Kay (Putnam) on page 203 of the original A5-sized publication (as opposed to the more recent A4-sized reprint), and also in Kampfflieger Volume 2 - Bombers of the Luftwaffe July 1940 - December 1941 by J Richard Smith and Eddie J Creek (Classic Publications) on page 121, where I.Gruppe/Kampfgeschwader 40 is listed in the attacking force sent against Liverpool on 28 August, 1940.
