Fw 190A-9 - Luftwaffe and Allied Air Forces Discussion Forum

agentsmith · #1 3rd April 2005, 03:07

After reading the Osprey book ''Fw 190 Production Line To Frontline'' and the Kagero title ''Fw 190 Vol. II'' there was mention of a small number of Fw 190A-9's that were fitted with the larger Ta 152 tail units.

Is there any other books that are currently available that has more information or any pictures of some of those rare 190's?
I have several books that cover the Fw 190 series of a/c but the A-9 is very poorly researched and little is said about it, very strange for an a/c that was used as often as it was in the closing months of the war.

TIA,

I think there are no photos of Fw 190s with Ta 152 tails. I would be also interested to see some evidence for that.

Zamex,

Thanks for your reply.

I have heard Jerry Crandall may have a new book about late war Fw 190's that might be released later this year, maybe his book will shed some light on this subject.
