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.

The Focke-Wulf Fw 186 was a one-man autogyro built by Focke-Wulf in 1937 with backing from the RLM (ReichsLuftfahrtMinisterium - Reich Aviation Ministry), for use as a liaison and reconnaissance aircraft, and featured short takeoff and landing characteristics. However only one prototype of the aircraft was constructed, and the project was abandoned when the RLM preferred the Fieseler Fi 156 Storch over the Fw 186.
