Description
The Focke-Wulf Fw 190: The Latter Years - D-Day to the Fall of Germany In the final years of World War II, the Focke-Wulf Fw 190 played a crucial role in defending the Reich against the Allied forces. This second volume of Chris Goss's comprehensive history of the Fw 190 showcases 190 photographs, many from the archive of the late Dr. Alfred Price, to illustrate the aircraft's use in this critical period. As the war turned against Germany, the Luftwaffe was forced to adapt its tactics to counter the increasing numbers of Allied fighters and bombers. The Fw 190, along with the Bf 109G, formed the backbone of the Luftwaffe's Reichsverteidigung fighter force, engaging enemy aircraft both by day and by night. The Luftwaffe also developed the Gefechtsverband, a battle formation composed of Bf 109s and Fw 190s, to counter the Allied tactics of escorting bombers and then chasing after enemy fighters. This book provides a detailed and visually rich account of the Fw 190's service in the latter years of the war, shedding light on its role in some of the most critical battles of the conflict.
