• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

In 1938, the Finnish national airline Aero OY ordered two Focke Wulf FW 200B Condor airliners with an option on a third one. The Finns issued registrations for the two in anticipation, but with the outbreak of WW2, the aircraft went to the Luftwaffe as transports instead.

Found this pic on the web of what the aircraft would have looked like. The 200B had the transport fuselage of the 200A with the wings and engines of the 200C maritime patrol aircraft. Japan had ordered another 6 of them, but never received them. All went to the Luftwaffe instead.
