The
Fw-190 was one of the greatest fighters of WWII. Designed by Dr.
Kurt Tank, it built as a sturdy fighter-interceptor to augment
the Messerschmitt Bf 109. It made its first flight on June
1, 1939 and first saw combat over northwestern France in
September 1941.
The early Fw 190A's were superior to the
Spitfire Mk.V. This development spurred the continuing evolution
of the Spitfire with ever more powerful engines, which pushed
evolution of the Fw-190. It was a better fighter than the
Bf-109, except at high altitude, and it carried much heavier
armament. A major advantage was the wider stance the aircraft
had. The Messerschmitt proved to be easy to bounce onto a
wing-tip on landing due to the narrow landing gear. The Focke
Wulf did not have this problem, which saved pilots lives and
aircraft. It was also successfully developed into a series of
fighter-bombers, culminating in the superb TA 152. 20,001
Fw-190s were built..
