Re: Luftwaffe Technical Intelligence on the P-47

"Undersized wings"? Well, the normal maximum TO weight (internal fuel only) for the Fw 190A-8 was 4300 JG and its wing area was 18.3 sq.m. This gives a wing loading of a bit over 234 kg/sq.m. The wing loading for the P-47D with a comparable loading was a bit over 216 kg/sq.m. So I wonder which one had those "undersized wings".

The German evaluation is worthless since the power settings are not given.
