Fw 190 F-9
Actually, either the narrow metal or wide wooden props could be installed in any of these machines. The metal props gave a higher level speed, so would probably be more appropriate for the Schlacht gruppen. The wooden props gave a better climb speed, so were preferred for interceptors. One report on the Fw 190 D/Ta 152, gives a value of -6kph for the wooden props relative to the metal props in max. level flight. Oh yes, one of these was about twice as heavy as the other, but, away from my reference material I forget which.
The comment on photo about the underwing racks for rockets is interesting. For what rockets would these be used, the PB1?
