Focke-Wulf Fw 200 Condor Manuals Collection
Collection Overview
This digital collection brings together 20 original manuals dedicated to the Focke-Wulf Fw 200 Condor, covering the A, C and F variants, along with additional documentation not tied to a specific variant.
While it does not aim to be a complete archive of all surviving historical material, it represents a carefully curated, structured and accessible selection of primary technical and operational documents.
The Fw 200 Condor occupies a unique place in aviation history. Originally conceived as a long-range commercial airliner, it was later adapted for military service and became one of the Luftwaffe’s most important long-range maritime reconnaissance and patrol aircraft. Its exceptional range allowed it to perform ocean surveillance, anti-shipping reconnaissance and strike coordination roles, particularly during the Battle of the Atlantic.
This collection is intended for aviation historians, researchers, restorers, enthusiasts and collectors who wish to study the aircraft’s design philosophy, onboard systems, armament, operational procedures and technical evolution across its civilian origins and military adaptations.
What the Collection Includes
Within the 20 manuals, the collection provides a broad and detailed set of technical, operational and descriptive documentation related to the Focke-Wulf Fw 200 Condor. The material includes aircraft handbooks and handbook extracts, full and abbreviated operating instructions, flight operating manuals, and short descriptions intended for quick reference.
The collection also contains armament documentation, including operating instructions for fixed and droppable weapons and separate manuals for individual weapon systems. Several manuals are dedicated to onboard systems, such as fuel system range extension, electrical power supply and oil pressure systems, offering insight into the aircraft’s long-range operational design.
In addition, the archive includes illustrated spare parts catalogues, technical reports, identification sheets, and official data sheets used for certification and reference. Complementing the technical material are technical brochures, commercial and military presentation documents, photographic collections and training or briefing slides, which provide valuable contextual and visual information on the aircraft’s development, configuration and intended use.
The presence of multiple document types, revisions and complementary materials allows a comprehensive study of the Fw 200 Condor from both a technical and operational perspective.
PDF and HTML indexes are included to facilitate navigation and consultation of the material.
