description: "The Focke-Wulf Fw 190 is widely regarded as Germany's best fighter aircraft\
\ of World War II. Its appearance in the skies over France in August 1941 was a\
\ rude shock to the Allies, as it was clearly superior to any other plane. For nearly\
\ a year, the Fw 190 was the unmatched champion of the air war in Europe. The Fw\
\ 190 had speed and high altitude performance as its two great assets.\n\nThe development\
\ of advanced allied fighters resulted in the Fw 190 D\u20139 variant which first\
\ saw service in September 1944. This variant had a larger nose that housed a more\
\ powerful Junkers Jumo engine that produced 2,100 hp with the MW-50 boost system.\
\ The D-9 was designed for high altitude aerial combat and is a worthy adversary\
\ to the P-51D Mustang."
