description: 'Designed for the German Luftwaffe by famed aircraft designer Kurt Tank
|
|
in the late-1930s, the Fw 190 was the backbone of the Luftwaffe in both fighter
|
|
and attack bomber roles. Powered by a large radial engine, the A version of the
|
|
Focke-Wulf 190 was superior in many ways to the Bf 109s and Spitfires at the time
|
|
of its introduction. In fact, this led to the development of the Mk.IX version of
|
|
the Spitfire.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Many of the Luftwaffe''s aces racked up their impressive kill counts in the Fw 190
|
|
A due to its impressive fire power, excellent low to medium altitude performance,
|
|
durability, and ease of flying. It saw action on both the eastern and western fronts
|
|
where it was both respected and feared by allied pilots. Armament included two fuselage-mounted
|
|
13-mm MG 131 machine guns and four wing-mounted MG 151/20E 20mm cannons. The Anton
|
|
could also be loaded with unguided rockets and bombs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The A-8 version of the Fw 190 entered production in February 1944, and it was powered
|
|
by a BMW 801 D-2 radial engine. In addition to excellent low- and medium-altitude
|
|
performance, the engine was also very rugged. Along with the F-8 version, it also
|
|
had thicker armor around the engine. The engine also received the C3 injection system
|
|
that provided an emergency boost of 1,980 PS in short durations.'
