FOCKE-WULF Fw58 WEIHE

Title:  Focke-Wulf Fw58 Weihe

The Fw5 Weihe was a twin-engined monoplane which first flew in 1935 in response to a Luftwaffe requirement for an advanced training aircraft for training pilots, gunners and radio operators. Eventually over 1300 were built and it was used in a very wide variety of other roles, including civil and military transport, reconnaissance, air ambulance, etc.

The type was manufactured under licence in at least three other countries and exported to many other countries. It was used as a personal transport by a number of people including Kurt Tank, who headed the Fw58 design team and later designed the Fw190.

This title contains two technical manuals for the Focke-Wulf Fw58 Weihe; a brief Luftwaffe operating manual, and a more comprehensive manufacturer’s operating manual; along with a manufacturer’s publicity brochure. The files have been scanned from the original flight manuals and retain any colour pages.
