Re: FW190A-9 production?
Peter Rodeike's 1998 book, Focke Wulf Jagdflugzeug Fw 190A Fw 190 "Dora" Ta 152H lists the following quantities of assigned serials for Fw 190A-9 production:
Focke Wulf, Cottbus: six batches totalling 660 aircraft
Focke Wulf, Aslau: 30 aircraft
Unknown manufacturer: 10 aircraft
Mimetall, Erfurt: 90 aircraft
Norddeutsche Dornier, Wismar: three batches totalling 120 aircraft
The book lists the first batch (Mimetall) beginning in August 1944, and the last (Dornier and "unknown") finishing in February 1945. The bulk of A-9 production were the Fw Cottbus batches between September 1944 and January 1945.
This is a total of 910 machines. No way to know if they were all actually built of course (I would guess it is unlikely). Better research may have surfaced since this book was published, but--also being a newbie here--I am not personally aware of it.
FWIW, perhaps the best-photographed of all A-9's is the well-known "Red 22" of II./JG301. It was one of the rare Fw Aslau-built batch.
