Top photo: Focke-Wulf Fw 200 V3, Werknummer 3099, 26+00 Immelmann III (formerly D-2600, formerly D-ARHU Ostmark). Fw 200 V3 was assigned to the Fliegerstaffel des Führers (F.d.F.) on October 19, 1939. It is seen here in its original civilian paint scheme, before the application of camouflage. Location and exact date photo was taken are currently unknown to me.
Lower photo: Focke-Wulf Fw 200 V3 26+00, now camouflaged, photographed on the occasion of a Führerbesuch [visit by the Führer] at Uman, Ukraine, on August 28, 1941, some three weeks after the city had been occupied by the Wehrmacht. The airfield on the north side of Uman was established by the Luftwaffe shortly after the city was taken. Note the additional Fw 200 and He 111 of the F.d.F. in the background.
Fw 200 26+00 was destroyed during an air raid on July 18, 1944. (German Aviation 1919-1945 collection)
