A brief explainer piece about the Focke-Wulf Fw 190, nicknamed Würger, a fighter designed by Kurt Tank that entered service in 1941 to complement the Bf 109.
The video presents it as a rival to the Spitfire over France and the English Channel, and as a ground-attack aircraft on the Eastern Front. It also shows it as an interceptor against B-17 and B-24 bombers, increasingly protected by escorts such as the P-51.
It highlights its 14-cylinder BMW 801 radial engine and its armament of MG 131 machine guns and MG 151/20 cannons. It reviews the A, F/G and D Dora versions, the latter with an inline engine, and puts production at more than 20,000 units.
