Re: Top Fw 190 aces

Good morning Alfred,

thanks for your answer.
I heard that the Bf109 could be assembled by non-professional workers. This might have contributed significantly to its success. The basic concept seems to have been so sound that the plane could be improved again and again over a period of 8 long years.
I did not know that the Bf109 had a better turning radius than the Fw190.
I have a German book featuring a graphic that suggest that the Fw190 was so manoeuvrable in a dive that it easily could shake of a pursuer.

Would you have preferred to serve in an Fw190 unit if given the choice between the two ?

Have a nice Wednesday,

Michael
