Historical Information and Combat Use

The Focke Wulf Fw 190D-9 is an advanced version of the iconic Fw 190. This German fighter aircraft was used by the Luftwaffe at the end of World War II, from 1944 to 1945. The “Dora,” as it was called by pilots, was distinguished by the use of the Junkers Jumo 213 engine, which provided better high-altitude performance and an increased maximum speed. The Fw 190D-9 took part in combat on the Western Front, in the defense of the Reich, and in the last desperate battles for control of German airspace.
