Fw 190 D cowl flap question
Hi
I have been looking at my copy of the Japo, Fw 190 D volume 1, while i wait for volume two. I have noticed that the cowl flap infront of the starboard supercharger intake seems to be always in the closed position. Was it locked closed to prevent blocking air to the supercharger? or is there another reason. I may have got it wrong and it may open like all the others but several different aircraft seem to show it closed. I can't seem to find mention of it being locked closed in any "D" books, but the photos seem to show that it was. Any help much appreciated Thanks Ben |
