Is it true that in World War 2 Britain launched aircraft from catapults on convoy ships to shoot down the German Focke-Wulf bombers and then ditch to save the pilot?
Yes. Before escort carriers were built, or rather converted from merchant or passenger ships, some ships, known as CAM ships (Catapult Armed Merchantman) were fitted with a 64 ft rail, from which a Hawker Hurricane fighter could be catapulted, using rockets, to combat the Focke-Wulf 200 "Condor" bomber. As there was no way to land the plane back on the ship it would have to ditch, usually near one of the escorts, and the pilot would then be picked up by one of the ship's boats. The value of the Focke-Wulf Condor to the Germans, by the way, was not so much as a bomber or surface attack aircraft, but much more as a reconnaisance aircraft to keep tabs on the convoys and direct the U-boat "wolf-packs" on to them.
Did the Focke-Wulf bomb people?
Focke-Wulf manufactured several different aircraft used by Germany in WWII, but I do not believe any were bombers. They did drop time-delay bombs from high altitude fighters over Allied bombers and on Atlantic convoy ships and probably on ground troops, but I doubt if any were involved in major bombing raids.
