Re: Fw200 Great-britain
hi,well as i live in uk,and battle britain, fan, fw 200 were used to some small part, ie, atlantic shipin strikes,off ireland, and also in 1940 august a very small part of fw200s made bombin on liverpool and northern ireland and ,north sea routes,a bit,,,,,,,,,
but this was as heinkel 111 do17s ju88s were been lost in vast amounts
,also, as fw200 were long range it helped heinkel ju88 do17s could not fly lets say scotland,,but fw200 could but the fw200 drawbacks well height and its very weak armor,as they were not used on liverpool in hugh amounts,but by 1941 42, well no luftwaffe bomber was invinible,as our night fighters were been made ready and doin grand work,beufighters and some hurricanes, too,and by 42 the mosquito, was the feared plane,.
by 1941 may ,bombing britain was second best ,ie russia june 22 41,
so fw 200 were only helpin u boats u boots,and shipin strikes off ireland then again they were been shot down by hurricats, a sea hurricane lauched off a catapult, on merchant ships,.so fw200s were not very good,
most were used in russia as transports and amberlances,
