The Fw 200 Condor first made an appearance over Norway in April 1940; flying with the unit that eventually become synonymous with it: Kampfgeschwader 40. As the war in the west progressed and German forces advanced; French airfields opened up; allowing the Condor to fly around the United Kingdom and out into the Atlantic; where it rapidly established itself as one of the key menaces to Allied shipping. Able to attack shipping directly or to guide U-boats to their prey; the Condor scored its first major success when it crippled the liner Empress of Great Britain. But the tables were to turn on the "Scourge of the Atlantic" as mechanical failures induced by their harsh operating environment and changes in Allied tactics began to take a toll. Since it was vulnerable to aerial attack; the deployment of Allied carriers and their associated fighters combined with the introduction of more long-range maritime patrol aircraft; exposed the Condor's deficiencies. Packed with rare first-hand accounts; profile artwork; and photographs; this is the history of one of the unsung types that took to the skies during World War II.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Wisdom for our time!By C. BurdetteAfter the first few pages; it's amazing how relevant his address starts to sound. He warns against political parties and how the "party spirit" can corrupt. Boy; haven't we seen a lot of that lately? He also warns against forming permanent foreign alliances; lest we get tangled up in pursuits that aren't in the best interest of our nation. It's not an easy read; but not terribly difficult either. Every American should read it at least once in their life though; if not more frequently.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. but the pages are of comfortable thickness.

The content is as timely and woke today as it certainly was received as on 19th September 1796. Geo's words at this moment should surely perk the ear of any truly patriotic American.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy brent morrisjust the right size to carry with you
