  1. Why did the FW-190A Series Not Perform Well at High Altitude While the Dora Did?

    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?

    Fw-190 Volume 4 - J. Richard Smith & Eddie J. Creek?

    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...
