Focke-Wulf FW-190A-4 – the German fighter

The FW-190 fighter was designed in 1937 and built by Professor Kurt Tank. It was created to supplement the front-line armament with aircraft of a different type, than the Bf-109. This, one of the best fighters of World War II, first saw action in 1941 in the battles over the English Channel and caused a lot of fear among Allied pilots, which they only managed to overcome in 1944, when the P-51 “Mustang” in the west and the “Yak-9” in the east entered the action. The FW-190 also proved very successful in strike operations, where, when destroying tanks, it often replaced the “Stuka” tank destroyers. The FW-190A version of the aircraft was also produced in the cities of Poznan and Malbork, which are located in present-day Poland.
