Most Fw 190s were the "A" series, powered by a BMW radial engine. Late in 1943, however, the more capable "D" series appeared in action against U.S. bombers, powered by the more powerful Jumo 213 inline, liquid-cooled engine. Because the larger engine lengthened its nose, a 20-inch section had to be added to the Fw 190D-9's fuselage just forward of the tail. During its lifetime, more than 20,000 Fw 190s of all types were built. #avgeek #history | National Museum of the U.S. Air Force

Fw-190 pilot bails out! | World War Aviation

Rare documentation of the Focke-Wulf Fw 190 A-2M D-FWMV, a modern reconstruction of the legendary WWII fighter. Built in 2013 by Aerostar (Romania) to original drawings and powered by a 1,900 hp Shvetsov ASh-82T radial engine, this aircraft represents one of the very few airworthy Fw 190s in the world. During this flight it performed engine start, takeoff, a flyby, and landing. Due to landing gear problems, the aircraft was unable to perform a full aerobatic display #Fw190 #FockeWulf #Warbird #W
