Initially designed as an airliner, the Fw 200 Condor gained the moniker 'Scourge of the Atlantic' because of its audacious attacks on Allied shipping and the direction of U-boats against convoys. Although eventually outclassed by the Allied introduction of escort carriers and their fighters and longer-range maritime patrol aircraft, the Fw 200 served from 1940 through to 1944.
Chris Goss is a recently retired senior Royal Air Force officer who has studied the 1939-45 air war over northwest Europe for many years, specialising in Luftwaffe air operations. He has amassed a substantial collection of original wartime material and photographs as a result of interviews and extensive correspondence with veterans and their families. Chris has written more than 14 books such as Bloody Biscay, Brothers in Arms and The Luftwaffe's Blitz that have been critically acclaimed for their research and been published in Hungarian, Spanish, Czech, as well as in English. Chris Davey has illustrated more than 25 titles for Osprey's Aircraft of the Aces, Combat Aircraft and Elite Units series since 1994. Based in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, and one of the last traditional airbrush artists in the business, he has become the artist of choice for both USAAF fighters and RAF subject matter, proving his undoubted skill when dealing with large aircraft subjects such as the Halifax and Sunderland.
