Re: FW 190 "Butcher Bird"
I thought that the term also referred to the fact that with it's armament of 4- 20 mm cannons plus the two MG, it was deadly opponent.
The later FW190D-9's and even the TA-152 held their own against their opponents, as the P-51's and so, The tides of war had changed and they were grossly outnumbered.
