Re: Egon Mayer's interesting Fw 190 A-4
You are correct Pawel. It is the experimental U7, apparently an attempt to boost the ram air effect in the supercharger of the Fw 190. Several were distributed around to well known pilots for their evaluation. The length of the intakes did vary, part of the experiment, I suppose. It was, apparently not successful as it was never put into production.
