Focke-Wulf Fw 187

The Focke-Wulf Fw 187 Falke (Falcon)... was developed as a high-performance fight in the late 1930s. Designed by Kurt tank was also behind designing the beautiful looking Fw 200 Condor. The Luftwaffe in the end did not feel it fitted in with what they wanted and in the end only nine were built.
It first flew in May 1937. One and two seat prototypes we built. It suffered with trouble during development. One aircraft crashed after stalling, a couple crashed on landing and after an engine fire. Operationally three were used to defend of F-W’s factory. Another three were used in Norway, and one was used in Denmark. Pilots reported it was as good if not better than the Bf 110! It certainly looked better.
