GM-1 / MW 50 / C3-Einspritzung with the BMW 801 D-2
Hi Bronc
I honestly have to say that I have never seen any definitive evidence that GM-1 was used by the BMW 801 D-2 powered Fw 190 A-series. Technical Description 284 for the Fw 190 A-8 states that although the installation of a nitrous-oxide boost system was feasible it was not normally done. MW 50 was tested on Fw 190 A-4 "SB + IK" (W.Nr. 0140 231) at Rechlin at the end of 1943 but results were disappointing and thus this system was not pursued. C3-Einspritzung on the other hand is known to have been in operational use mainly by fighter-bombers in the middle of 1943. The control knob for the latter was located beneath the left side of the main instrument panel. I hope this helps and any comments or correction are welcome.
Horrido!
Leo
