Eagles Of The Luftwaffe: Focke - Wulf FW200 Condor
(Tempest Books -September 2, 2021)
by Matthew Willis
116 pages - paperback
£12.99

"The Focke-Wulf Fw 200 Condor was conceived for peace but turned to a warlike purpose savaging convoys bringing vital supplies to Britain. The aircraft Churchill called “the scourge of the Atlantic” became synonymous with the struggle to supply the Allies by sea. As a truly long-range reconnaissance bomber, the Condor acted as the eyes and ears of the Kriegsmarine, while packing a powerful punch itself. As the Allies stepped up their efforts to address the vulnerability of their convoys to aerial reconnaissance and attack, however, the Fw 200’s weaknesses became ever more apparent.

Naval aviation author Matthew Willis tackles the career of the feared aircraft, from its beginnings as a cutting-edge airliner, through its early development into a military transport and a maritime bomber and ‘spyplane’, including the addition of ever more armament and technology such as radar and the carriage of radio-controlled glider bombs. From the expanses of the Atlantic, via the freezing Arctic seas to the heat and dust of North Africa, the operational history of the Fw 200 is examined."

Not sure if I follow, Chris. Are we supposed to check in with you beforehand?

[Chris Goss]

Stephen: Not at all but having written 3 books on this aircraft, the latest being out 18 months ago, I find it hard to understand what new can be written so soon after but looking at the publisher, this kind of book appeals to the mass not specialist market. I look forwards to seeing it especially as to its use as a spy plane!

Chris,
That's exactly what it is about: mass not specialist market. I'm sure that nothing new will be found inside, text or images likewise. What you do is well researched and detailed but that has a price that many young readers or more globally people with limited incomes can not afford. And if Osprey's series offer books at a reasonable price and are good as first approach for a topic, the books are however formated and that's not always enough to cover correctly a topic. So books like Mortonsbooks offer might come to fill the gaps. So there is room for everybody actually, all depends of the segment you are targeting.

Several books that I have seen from this publisher actually have been based on newer archival research than many books from a certain "Classic".
