| FOCKE-WULF FW 190 "LONG NOSE" by Dietmar Hermann An illustrated history of the FW-190D Series covering the development of those variants of the Fw 190 powered by inline engines. Production of the Fw 190 C, D and the Ta 153 was delayed by the German air ministry, and not until 1944 did the Fw 190 D-9, powered by the Jumo 213 A, enter production. It was an immediate success and quickly entered Luftwaffe service with more than 1,700 examples being completed by the end of the war. The D-9 gave rise to a number of improved variants with the more powerful Jumo 213 F engine and heavier armament, however only a handful of the D-11 & D-13 versions were completed. 2003, Schiffer Publications, , 0764318764,< M-01>,Large format, 208pp, 250 + b/w photos & ills, plus colour aircraft profiles , New in d/w, , Subject...Aviation - GeneralWeb No. 31838-01..............................£49.95 |
