Re: FW 190 D-9 Top Speed
Gentlemen:
On 20 Jan 1945, my flight of four bounced estimated 40 FW-190s. I eventually was alone with quite a few of them and finally decided to head for home. Several FW-190 D-9 (est 12- 15) chased me at an estimated 32,000 feet all the way from Regensburg to Alps but kept falling further and further behind. My P-51D was rated at 437 mph top speed so I doubt these FW-190s could do over 430 mph.
Cordially, Art Fiedler
