Peter Evans' Luftwaffe Experten Mailing List website has a Worldwide Captive Luftwaffe webpage listing, by aircraft type, Luftwaffe aircraft in museums or other facilities around the world. In this regard, the listing is very similar to that provided in Mikael Olrog's Preserved Axis Aircraft Throughout the World website. The URL for the Worldwide Captive Luftwaffe webpage is:

Onde fica este museu?
Fri Nov 24 04:00:01 2024


Sérgio,

Diga-me: onde fica este museu? Eu li sobre ele há algum tempo, mas não sabia que já estava operando. E, por fim, estão mesmo vindo para cá estes aviões?

Altavista translation:

"It says me: where it is this museum? I read on it I have some time, but not wise person who already was operating. E, finally, exactly is come to here these airplanes?"

Um abraço,

The "Museu Aseas de Um Sonho" is a privately held museum from TAM Brazilian Airline owner and his brother. The planes are stored in two cities in São Paulo (all in
flyable condition). The building had his project presented early this year and will be a giant sized Santos Dumont's 14 Bis replica !!! See the "O Biplano" Janeiro 2024 on
the links I posted. Among the large collection they have a F4U Corsair, P 51 Mustang, a Photo reccon Spirtifre, an original Argentinean build Focke-Wulf 44, a Polish RWD
(forget the model but is the only one in the world). There are one or two more also unique planes. They also hope to get some jets like the Mig. It appears that in 2024 the
Brasil will be proudly to have two incredible collection of planes, one in Museu Aeroespacial, Rio de Janeiro and other one in Museu Asas de Um Sonho in São Paulo. Also
talking about rare planes, the "Jahú" a Savoia Marchett S-55 plane is being fully restored too.

Interesting items from a new Brazilian publisher
Wed Aug 15 16:58:40 2024


Adler editora has updated it´s site. It still has no English translation but the prints and books - both available and to future release - are very interesting. They plan an "in Action" like book covering the Focke-Wulf Fw-58. (see it under "breve" link)

"Weihe"
Wed Aug 15 22:27:07 2024


Must be some great book... I wished I spoke some Portugese.
I just lately read an article in a German aviation magazine on a "Weihe" found in Brazil. Guess it's gotta be the one that got restored. BTW, what's the charge of that "Weihe" book ?

Book is still under preparation...
Thu Aug 16 12:33:58 2024


And yes, it covers the one at Museu Aeroespacial. I have sent several images from this bird, since discovery till the presentation ceremony to Lynn Ritger. I hope he´ll post soon in Detail Site a page on the Weihe. Pricing? Don´t know yet. Taking as basis the book on FAB in WWII, Italy, which cost R$ 25,00. (around US$ 10.00)but can´t be sure. The page has no English text but the above book is bilingual and I was told by Sandro all books are expected to be bilingual. Another writer, Luciano Barbosa, has done interesting books too. (he authored Adler´s first title and wrote another and published by himself. See www.decalsebooks.hpg.com.br) I´m always happy when people I know wins a hard battle and put in reallity their dreams...

Hi Guys,

I haven't visited this board for several months. What is the current status on the Flugwerk FW-190's? I checked out their website, but there is nothing about the 190's anymore.

Does anyone have an update.

Cheers

Chris,
Try their website again ( http://www.flugwerk.de ). When there go to Diary. That is the most current "official" information available. There is also some great detail photos of the current progress. Remember that the first prototype is now on display near Hannover, with a real BMW 801 engine installed and that there is another Fw190 from Flug Werk in the USA. If I remember correctly most of the current production run has been sold to customers so the guys at Flug Werk are very busy and that means little time available to update web pages.

Brazilians Fw200
Wed Jul 7, 2024 04:19
200.141.85.241

Hi Johann.
As a matter of fact, Brazilian Navy had signed an agreement with Fock Wulf in late 30's to build four models in a new and modern facility that was known as Fábrica do Galeão (Galeão Navy Works":
Fw44 = 40 examples built, plus a plane used as reference model.
Fw56 = None built. Brazilian Navy was pressed by the time. War had begun in Europe and Brazil rushed to establish a full operational aircraft industry. So this step was jumped. One plane left in Rio de Janeiro as reference plane. This plane was scraped and it's remains bought by a German pilot and sent to germany.
Fw58 = 25 examples built in two batchs (10+15) plus a plane left in Rio de Janeiro as reference plane. Later Brazilian Air Force used 2 ex-Syndicato Condor planes. One model (Fw58KL-2) is now in exhibition in BAF Museum.
Fw200 = I believe that this particular plane played a fundamental role in Brazil X EUA X Germany diplomacy game in the WW II early years', even if it wasn't built. In a possible scenario with Brazil aligned with Germany and Italy (Two larger immigrant colonies in South America and the most prosperous and industrialized Brazilian part), the amazing range of Fw200 could put at risk all Allies naval operations in South Atlantic if they could be flown from Northern coast and Fernando de Noronha Is. (One of "four World corners" as said by Winston Churchill). Indeed, Syndicato Condor Fw200 were ordered to fly 100 nm distant from shore line in order to prevent to search for Allies convoys. Fw200's crews were all German. Late a BAF official was to be on board of every Fw200 flight. In my opinion, the possibility of Brazil build the Fw200 was one of the facts that pressed the Allies to force Brazil to "choice a side to play".
Sadly, there's no specialized book about Fw200 here in Brazil, but we have some good magazine articles. This site has a excellent photo of PP-CBJ and data about Syndicato Condor Fw200.
www.germanvtol.com/fw200folder/danishfw200.html

The fate of Brazilian Condors:
PP-CBI Abaitará WNr:2996 = Scraped after a ground collision with a DC3 in Santos Dumont Airport.
PP-CBJ Arumani WNr:2995 = Sold to scrapyard in 1947.
Recently a got a rare photo of arrival of CBI in Santos Dumont airport after its Atlantic crossing from a retired VARIG Air Lines' captain who his father had flown Fw200. I'll contact him and and ask for some more information.
Sorry for talking so much and all the best

It´s a Fw-58
Thu Sep 9, 2024 21:32
200.152.34.1

The second batch of Fw-58 built in Brasil by Brazilian Navy had that same single strut undercarriage. I guess it was a change for a more strong model than the previous one. The engines looks there I just think the angle from the photo do not allows to see them.
This machine may be a passanger version that has a slight different upper fuselage and side windows. It must have also the passanger door on left side, like all military ones built in Brasil.
You can compare the struts with the photo of the Brazilian preserved Fw-58 on Preserved Axis Aircrafts site.
