The Focke-Wulf Fw 200 Condor was a German all-metal four-engine monoplane that entered service as an airliner. Later versions for the Luftwaffe were used as long-range reconnaissance and anti-shipping bomber aircraft as well as transport planes for troops and VIPs.
Versions modified to be used by VIPs were called Führermaschinen.

FW-200 V-3 'Immelmann III'.
Unit: Regierungsstaffel (E.T.O. "Summer paint-scheme")
Serial: D-2600, later WL+2600 and 26+00 (W.Nr.3099)
At the suggestion of his personal pilot Hans Baur, Adolf Hitler specified a modified and unarmed prototype Condor, the Fw-200 V1 as his personal transport, in replacement for his Junkers Ju 52. Originally configured as a 26-passenger Lufthansa transport, the plush aircraft was reconfigured as a two-cabin aircraft. Hitler's seat in the cabin was equipped with a wooden table, back-armour plating, and a special chair with an automatic parachute with downward throws. Although according to Hans Baur, the aircraft was never armed, many suggest that it had some type of defensive arms. In line with Hitler's aircraft preferences, it carried the markings "D-2600" and named "Immelmann III". As the war progressed it changed designation to "WL+2600" and finally "26+00". It was destroyed at Berlin Tempelhof Airport in an Allied bombing raid on July 18, 1944.

FW-200 C-4/U1.
Unit: III/KG 40. (Eastern Front "Winter paint-scheme")
Serial: CE+IB (W. Nr. 0137)
This aircraft was used by Hitler, sometime around
1943 , for visits to the Eastern Front when Germany invaded Russia. No other information remains about what became of this aircraft, but most likely was completely destroyed at the end of WW2.

Only one relatively complete Fw-200 exists today.
This aircraft was raised from the Trondheimsfjorden in Norway in the late 1990s. Despite disintegrating on recovery, the remains were transported to the Technical Museum in Berlin to be rebuilt there. A request from the museum for a set of separate wings to be recovered from the mountain Kvitanosi near Voss in Norway to complete the rebuild was denied, as a result of the local population wanting the wings to be left in situ as a war memorial.

If you destroy any of these airplanes during your flights in the IL-2 game... you win World War 2 !! (Note: Adolf Hitler is sitting at the window of these airplane skins)

I watched a show on Hitlers Bodyguards and it went in depth into the security that went into Hitlers Personal Aircraft such as Ejection slots and trap doors where if he was sitting in his chair and they were under attack he would pull a lever and a door would open in the floor for him to fall out and parachute.
I would have liked to do these but too much trouble skinning that warped Fw-200 Void. :evil:

It is possible to do it on a skin, but you must be patience and take your time to discover
where all the aircraft parts are at in the skin. I have this airplane skin already mapped out in
my head, like all the rest I did before. I have been working on it for the past 8 days.
hock:
I AM GOING BLIND!
hock: LOL
If you look closer at this skin while the airplane is flying you will notice alot of
nice details I created into this Fw-200 for you... including 2 doors under the airplane for the belly-nest
crewmen who man the machine-guns under the airplane. That is also where Hitler jumps out too.
If you put the wheels down to land, I have re-worked some nice details into those tiny wheel-gears.
If you "eject" all the crew out of the airplane (High altitude is reccomended), zoom into the airplane
skin and you will notice even more details. A new cockpit was painted, interiors, machine-gun nests,
and a few other parts.
I hope you like it.
