Hi guys,

With all respect to Poolman's volume, I have to point out that it contains very little info on Fw 200 anti-shipping units (i.e. KG 40) per se. His data on ship losses and British countermeasures on the other hand are much better.

You should also try Sea Eagles: Luftwaffe Anti-shipping Units 1942-45 (two volumes) by Chris Goss. In case if you already have Nowarra's book on Condor, Goss has managed to correct several errors from there as well.

And finally, there is a neat little Spanish booklet entitled Focke Wulf Fw 200 "Condor" by Juan Carlos Salgado (Perfiles Aeronauticos series Vol. 4, 5). It has rather good submarine information, a table on Condor sinkings (Vol. 1) and another on all Condor units (Vol. 2). The artwork by Mr. Julio Caeiro is also rather good, I must say.


HTH,

Richard
