About the Focke-Wulf Fw190 A-3

Growth of the FW190 series started within the Autumn of 1937, under an agreement issued by the Reichsluftfahrtministerium (Air Ministry) for just one chair fighter to supplement the Messerschmitt Bf109. Two proposals had been submitted by Kurt Tank, the technical director of this Focke-Wulf Flugzeugbau (aircraft factory). The proposition utilizing the then new BMW 801 aircooled radial engine had been opted for. This tough and effective motor was put into a robust airframe and supplied superb management, well balanced control, and brisk acceleration.
It entered solution in 1941, traveling alongside the Bf 109 plus it quickly took control of atmosphere superiority on the English Channel. Developing it self as a mainstay fighter of this Luftwaffe, it outperformed the modern Spitfire Mk. V&39;s in almost every respect and maintained this advantage until the arrival of this Spitfire IX in July 1942. The FW 190 fighter underwent constant enhancement throughout its life. The A-3 variation utilized the improved BMW 801Dg motor that produced 1,700hp. Armament was increased from four to six firearms, composed of two quick firing MG 151&39;s in wing roots; two MG FF&39;s outboard of the landing gear and two fuselage mounted MG 17 machine guns.

Throughout WW2, many Luftwaffe squadrons allowed personal pilot markings and distinctive squadron insignia to be utilized, plus reduced cowl, wing tip and rudder color improvements towards the initial paint schemes.
