fw-190

Hi there! I am just asking this question because my memory is a little foggy. Didn’t the A series not perform well above 6000 meters because the Kommandogerat system couldn’t function well at high altitude? Did the Jumo 213 in the Dora have an improved Kommandogerat system or was its horsepower...

Hi all! So I am writing this just because I thought I knew a decent amount about the 190, but today I found some sources saying that the 801D engine ran only on 100 octane fuel? I’m just a little confused as I always thought it ran off of the 87 octane B-4 gas. Another question I would like to...

I would like to think that I have a decent amount of knowledge surrounding this plane, it’s my favorite German fighter of the war. I would like to increase my knowledge even more though, does anybody have a recommendation on a book(s) that covers operational history of the plane as well as...

Hi all! Just a question that’s been on my mind for a while. As I have mentioned in another thread, I love German tanks from WW2. However, I know from research that their armor plate manufacturing for tanks had some pretty bad quality control as well as things like sabotage and the works. One...

I wonder if anyone knows the status of "Focke-Wulf Fw-190 the Anatomy and Colours Volume 4" by J. Richard Smith and Eddie J. Creek. This was a proposed final book in their wonderful Fw-190 series. Several years ago, there was an e-mail campaign to get the publisher, Ian Allen, to publish the...

I would imagine that most of you have seen this kit. It is a representation of one of Germany's top ace pilots, and the main aircraft he flew, the Focke Wulf Fw-190A-5. The red BMW 327 roadster was supposedly the representation of the actual car he drove. The plane was a fantastic build, and...
