Original U.S. German WWII Fragment of Focke-Wulf Fw 200 Condor Shot Down over Iceland with Provenance Note - Shot Down by U.S. Pilots Thurman F. Morrison & Michael J. Ingelido

Original Item. One-of-a-Kind. The Focke-Wulf Fw 200 Condor, also known as Kurier (German for courier) to the Allies, is an all-metal four-engined monoplane designed and produced by the German aircraft manufacturer Focke-Wulf. It was the first heavier-than-air craft to fly nonstop between Berlin and New York City, about 4,000 miles (6,400 km), making the flight from Berlin-Staaken to Floyd Bennett Field on 10/11 August 1938 in 24 hours and 56 minutes.

This is a lovely fragment of a crashed FW-200 C-4, which was shot down over Iceland on October 24th, 1942 by Lieutenant Thurman F. Morrison & Lt. Michael J. Ingelido. The piece is mounted on a 3½ x 8” wooden board with a provenance note at the front. It notes that the Luftwaffe pilot was Oblt. Heinz Godde, unit I/KG40, Serial number C/N0131. Lt. Ingelido retired as a 2-star General with 12 aerial victories.

The board also has what appears to be two pebbled German uniform buttons at each side.

A lovely aircraft piece with provenance, ready to display.
