Focke Wulf Fw 190 in Combat

The compelling story of the Germans' answer to the Spitfire Mk V, which first became operational in the autumn of 1941. The Fw 190 could out-run, out-climb and out-dive the Spitfire Mk V, the best machine the RAF then had available. It served on every battle front in a fighter role and as a bomber-destroyer, a fighter-bomber and a photographic recce aircraft. The story of this remarkably versatile aircraft is told by well-known aviation historian Alfred Price, who conducted first-person interviews with many former Fw 190 pilots and the head of the Focke Wulf design team, Professor Kurt Tank. These firsthand accounts, combined with the author's authoritative narrative and backed by a superb selection of photographs, make compelling reading.
