Then indeed someone added some form of misinformation to Wikipedia on the Pulqui II & I'm willing to bet that the other online resource that mentioned the Pulqui II being used in the Liberating Revolution was based on that very same misinformation on Wikipedia.

In regards to the presence of Fw-200s in South America I don't have any great references on the type. Most books that I have which cover the Fw-200 cover dozens or hundreds of other aircraft. There is mention of it's use in Brazil by Syndicato Condor but nothing else really; Wait, could you be referring to the Curtiss Condor II that Bolivia tried to import during the Chaco War but were intercepted in Peru? As I understand it these might've served on both sides of the Leticia War; Only with those from Colombia being float planes. I don't doubt your information it's just bizarre how sparse knowledge of Latin American aviation is outside of South & Central America.

The one remaining Fw-200 is absolutely based on the wreckage of Fw-200C aircraft (the armed reconnaissance bomber variant.) The two airframes that contributed the most started with one which ditched off of the coast of Ireland. It was recovered from the sea in 1999. I just watched an abridged version of the recovery video & saw the turret ring just behind where the cockpit should've been. It's main wing spar buckled as it was lifted out of the water over where they were planning to set it down creating a real mess. In the end they had to source the wings from another Fw-200C that crashed/landed on a mountain in Norway. There are considerable differences in the landing gear, engines, cowlings, nacelles & propellers between the civilian version & the military version. I only noticed this now that while scrutinizing the images. While it is painted an overall aluminum color, with the trademark Condor logo on the side, with all vestiges of armament removed; Under the port wing it shows half of a Balkankreuz & part of it's fuselage code! Maybe restoring that paint, in part, was their singular compromise in memorial to the legacy of it's true origins.

Forget about what I said about the Condor in Bolivian service. The only Condors over there are the birds. I mixed up things from a book I have about civil aviation in Bolivia and there is no reference at all about the FW200. There is a lot about te other types mentioned transporting meat, but are American types.
Sindicato Condor was the Brazilian company owned by Deutsche Lufthansa and a local partner, using the civil version FW200A. Lufthansa also had operations in Colombia with SCADTA and in Ecuador with SEDTA; both operating Junkers Ju.52. During WWII, both Colombia and Ecuador were aligned with the U.S., and both Governments "declared war" to Germany and confiscated both airlines. In Ecuador, one of those Junkers was transferred to FAE (Ecuadorian Air Force) and other was operational with TAO airlines (as freighter) until early 70´s.
