FW 189 RECONNAISSANCE TRAINING

The FW189 became known as "das Fliegende
Auge" (the flying eye) when it was
introduced to the reconnaissance units of
the Luftwaffe.  Roughly shaped like a P-
38 Lightning, the FW189 had a glazed nose
and tailcone, and carried a crew of
three.  Kurt Tank, the designer for
Focke-Wulf, called it the "Eule" (Owl)
but this was changed in the field by the
troops to Uhu (another term for Owl).
This would later confuse some people due
to the He219's official name of "Uhu".

                    YOUR MISSION

Perform a reconnaissance of the
designated target, filming the flyover
with your Rb 20/30 camera.  Then fly home
by avoiding enemy airbases.  If you take
a fuel tank hit consider aborting
immediately.
