Fw 200 Condor.

LW long range recon aircraft. It was suppose to be the Lw's long range 4 engine bomber but the main wing spar was to weak to carry load of bombs so they turned it into a long range maritime patrol aircraft.

Junkers 290 if memory serves.  Brought  back to the US with many of the aircraft flown by "Watson's Whizzers"

Seems to me this was the one they found the bomb in the wing after they got it back to the US?
