Luftwaffe Aircraft Blueprint Sheet for the Prototype Focke-Wulf Fw 206

The single sheet is approximately 7-7/8 inches by 11 inches. The paper shows age toning and some foxing, with staple holes in the upper corner. The Focke-Wulf Fw 206 was a German planned commercial aircraft, designed by Focke-Wulf. The aircraft was designed to be an all-metal, low-wing monoplane, and was to be powered by two BMW Bramo 323 R engines, each producing 1,000 horsepower (750 kW). The prototype was not produced, however, due to the start of World War II.

The document bears the title of “Flugzeugtypenblatt” (“Aircraft Type Sheet”) and includes the printed designation of “Geheime Kommandosache (“Secret Command Matter”). This diagram sheet was one of a large group of such blueprints of aircraft, including prototype and experimental aircraft, that were seized at the office of Reichmarshal Hermann Goring at the German experimental weapons testing and launching site at Peenemunde. They were found and taken by a U.S. Navy officer who was later with the Technical Intelligence Liaison Unit of the Navy’s Bureau of Aeronautics. Included in this listing is a photograph of a portion of a card that was affixed to the file folder containing the blueprints and identifying their origin. This card is not included with the blueprint.
