Dr Kurt Tank, engineer, aircraft designer and (sometimes) test pilot (right), photographed with fighter interceptor ace Gunther Specht, 1944.  Tank was perhaps the most talented designer attached to Focke-Wulf, and was responsible for several important military designs.  Among these was the Fw-200 Condor (originally designed as a civil airliner) and, above all, the Fw-190 fighter.  Best regards, JR.
