The Focke Wulf FW 200 Condor, also known as ‘Kurier’ to the Allies, was a German all-metal four-engine monoplane originally developed by Focke Wulf as a long-range airliner. A Japanese request for a long-range maritime patrol aircraft led to military versions that saw service with the Luftwaffe as long-range reconnaissance and anti-shipping/maritime patrol bomber aircraft. The Luftwaffe also made extensive use of the FW 200 as a transport.

It achieved some success as a commerce raider before the advent of long-range RAF Coastal Command aircraft and CAM ships eliminated its threat.
