Historical and Technical Information

The Fw190A-8 was one of the main Luftwaffe aircraft used by the Third Reich during World War II, in service from 1944 until the end of the war. The A-8/R11 version is a variant adapted for night combat – the "Nightfighter" – featuring additional searchlight floodlights and FuG 217 Neptun R radar detection antennas, which enabled detection of Allied bombers in limited visibility conditions.
