Thanks for the replies net_sailor. Really, all I am after is ball park figures here... After some futher research here is what I have come up with... There were about 20,000 FW-190 built. Of that there were... About 13,000 FW-190As About 700 FW-190Ds About 800 FW-190Gs...

I found this link, but im not sure how accurate the numbers are? World War Two Aircraft - Specs of Fighters by model and type

Is it just me or is this site very hard to follow with all the Serials? What Im particually interested in is the production number of all the major variants. How many A and D interceptors, and how many Fighter Bomber variants were produced?

Does anybody have information regarding the production numbers of all FW-190 variants?

Does anybody know any links to sites that have information on air battles during the Battle for France?

Thanks Wurger. The B.534 and Letov Š-328 are the two aircraft im most interested in. If anybody else has any info that would be great!

Does anybody know if Slovakian aircraft were equipped with radios for communicating with their wingman during the Slovak-Hungarian War?

If we ignore the German aircraft in this diagram, can we take this as a good comparison of the Allied aircrafts turning circles on this table then? http://www.wwiiaircraftperformance.org/wade-turning.jpg

Thanks renrich, would you be referring to this... http://www.wwiiaircraftperformance.org/fw190/ptr-1107.pdf I have read many posts at this forum that claim these reports show bias against the Axis aircraft?

To DerAdlerIstGelandet, can I ask why you rate the FW-190D as the best fighter ?

Doh! Sorry, that was a typo! Let me try that again.... I realize that having a good turning circle is NOT the only important thing in a dog fight, but im just interested in horizontal turn performance.

Thanks guys for all your views and opinions, they are much appreciated. I realize that most data found on the net must be viewed with skepticism, rather that taken as gospel...and as JoeB said there are many different factors that effect turning performance of aircraft... but I must say I...

I am very interested in comparing the different turning performances of different fighters during WW2. Does anybody know of any sites that would help with this?

Nice Pic! :) Is a "Furball" a reference to a large scale dogfight?

I have heard the term "Furball" used in relation to dogfights, does anybody know what this means?
