About the Focke-Wulf Fw190 D-9Following the effective entry of the Focke-Wulf Fw190A variety of fighter aircraft on the English channel throughout the autumn of 1941, the German RLM requested high altitude version to check the fighter fleet, and three jobs had been started. The Fw 190B utilized the B.M.W. 801 turbosupercharged radial motor and a pressurized cockpit, but hardly any of these had been built.
The Fw190C had been powered by a 1,750hp Daimler Benz DB603A in-line engine, of which three prototypes were built. The next thin air project was on the basis of the Focke Wulf Fw190A airframe and running on a Junkers engine. The fuselage had been lengthened to support the V-12 cylinder, fluid cooled, 1,750hp Jumo 213 motor, and made its initial journey during the cold weather of 1941 - 42. Five further prototypes were produced, plus tiny batch of Fw 190 D-Os were completed from standard production Fw 190A-7 airframes. These pre-production aircraft had been followed closely by the Fw190 D-2 through D-8 designations.
The Fw 190D-9 began production in June 1944, with early variations having the flat topped canopy, and from W. Nr. 210002 onwards getting the Galland bonnet (blown canopy). It went into combat aided by the III/JG 54 "Grunherz" (Green Hearts) in September 1944, at Achmer, Germany, as top cover for the new Messerschmitt Me262 Jet fighters then entering solution.
