FOCKE-WULF FW 190 LONG NOSE AN ILLUSTRATED HISTORY OF THE FW 190D SERIES
Book Type: C, O By Dietmar Hermann. This book covers the complete development history of those variants of the Focke-Wulf Fw 190 powered by inline engines. The first Fw 190 equipped with a Daimler Benz liquid-cooled engine took to the air in early 1942, followed by six months later by another powered by a Jumo 214. Not until 1944 did the Fw 190 D-9 powered by the Jumo 213 A, enter production. The Fw 190 D-9 proved an immediate success, and quickly entered service with the Luftwaffe and more than 1,700 examples were completed by the end of the war. The Fw 190 D-9 gave rise to a number of improved variants with the more powerful Jumo 213 F engine and a heavier armament, however only a handful of the D-11 and D-13 version were completed. With a maximum speed of 750 km/h, the Fw 190 D-12 powered the new Jumo 213 EB would have represented the apex of Fw 190 development. The proposed Fw 190 D-14 and D-15, both powered by improved versions of the dive-bombers 603, came too late to see service, with over 150 b/w drawings, charts, photos, and color aircraft profiles, excellent photo/technical history. 200 pp. ![]() |
