The Focke-Wulf Fw-190 is a German, single-engine, all-metal fighter aircraft with a covered cockpit with low-wing design. Pilots considered the Fw-190 to be a better aircraft than the Messerschmitt Bf-109.
The first prototype of the Fw-190V1 was ready in May 1939 and flew on June 1, 1939. The second prototype, the FW-190V2, armed with two MG131 and two MG17 machine guns, all 7.92 mm caliber, flew in October 1939.
The first operational unit equipped with the Fw-190 - 6./JG 26 stationed at Le Bourget, declared its operational readiness in August 1941 and from the first meeting of the new fighter with the British Supermarine Spitfire, its advantage over them became evident.
During the war, a dozen versions and more than 20,000 units of this great aircraft were created, one of the best fighters of World War II.
