The Focke - Wulf 190 served the German air force during WWII. This single seat fighter plane proved to be a superior aircraft than it's Allied counterpart the Supermarine Spitfires. In all, almost 20,000 of these aircraft were produced. The 190 housed a 1,776-hp engine, and flew at a top speed of 426 mph. Two 13-mm MG 131 machine-guns and two 20-mm MG 151 cannons, plus one 1,102 Ibs. bomb, were fitted on this plane. Designed by Kurt Tank, the Fw-190A was first flown on June 1st, 1939. This small, yet ferociously-powered aircraft was fast and maneuverable and packed a fierce armament package earning it the nickname "Butcher Bird". The wide landing gear, excellent visibility and high-altitude paddle-bladed propeller endeared it to pilots familiar with the shortcomings of its predecessor - the Messerschmitt Bf 109. Some of the Luftwaffe's most famous fighter aces flew the Fw 190. Many variants were produced during the war, with the most notable being the inline-engine equipped and longer-nosed 190D, known as the "Dora." © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
