50 brand new Focke-Wulf FW-190 delivered from Germany in the 1940's against Chromium were found buried in the ground, wrapped in oiled tarpaulin at old Turkish Kayseri AB.
Experts say that the planes are possibly in flight ready condition.
This a sensation cause no other FW-190 exist.

Questions are:
Why were they hidden?
How they became forgotten?

1947 Marshall Plan was born together with Truman Doctrine. The USA donated money and material to Turkey. But they wanted all existing German planes to be destroyed. After long discussions Turkey burried them and said the US they were scrapped

The main intention of the USA was to destroy the existing limited Turkish airplane manufacture capability.
Many parts of the planes and final assembly was done in Turkey.

For more than 70 years it was a "secret" and censored.

Now experts will bring them again to daylight and donate them to museums and historic planes clubs.
