The Focke-Wulf Fw 190
Green, William - Swanborough, Gordon
First Edition
Acro Aircraft Classic No. 2
Although the Channel Front in 1942 and 1943 provided the backdrop for the greatest triumphs of this successful German plane as a day fighter, it became a sturdy all-rounder that broadened its repertoire to include the roles of fighter-bomber, night fighter, dive bomber, ground attack fighter and tactical reconnaissance fighter on all the fronts to which the Luftwaffe was committed save the Eastern Mediterranean theatre.
Gordon Swanborough and William Green, the most authoritative writers on aircraft in the English language, have provided a complete history of this plane's design, development and operations with very füll specifications and a special technical description. William Green's books on warplanes are established as classics in their fields throughout the Western World and the authority of this new book and the renown of the Focke-Wulf ensure a volume of the greatest interest to all aircraft enthusiasts. It is probably true to say that, Spitfires apart, no aeroplane has captured the imagination so widely, making it also a very popular design for modellers. The authors have illustrated their book lavishly with photo-graphs and drawings, including 'exploded' diagrams.
