German Leadership

The Hitler’s airplane

A moment of summit Hitler-Mussolini on East Front, late August 1941. In back of Führer, likely just landed, his personal aircraft, a four engines Focke-Wulf FW 200 Condor in VIP transport version. But is well-known the Hitler’s preference for a “classic” plane like the Ju 52 instead for a modern aircraft, with retractable landing gear, as the FW 200. Victor Sierra
