FW190A-9 production?

[Andreas Brekken]

Hi

I do not have the production numbers of FW 190A-9 in September, October and November of 1944, but the following are the numbers for the given subsequent months, have also included the totals for the three mentioned months:

September 1944: 851 FW 190A of all subtypes
October 1944: 671 FW 190A of all subtypes
November 1944: 990 FW 190A of all subtypes

December 1944: 20 FW 190A-9, 103 FW 190A-9/R11
January 1945: 67 FW 190A-9, 50 FW 190A-9/R11
February 1945: 12 FW 190A-9
March 1945: 24 FW 190A-9

These are the numbers of FW 190A-9 delivered new from the industry to the Luftwaffe during these months, thus we have a minimum number of 276 aircraft delivered, and I would suspect based on the numbers for these last months that about 15% of the aircraft produced in September/October/November were A-9's, giving an additional about 375 aircraft, thus a total of about 650 aircraft of this subtype produced, which fit the number range you quote quite nicely.

Regards,

Dear Seaplanes

They are not mentioned by anyone else

The information is given in a letter from Focke-Wulf entitled:
"Kennziffer der Nachbaufirmen Fw 190" found in Bundesarchiv-Miltärarchiv reference RL 3/4139.
First I did not pay a lot of attention, but then found that the first two digits given in this list matched with known W.Nr. series for Fw 190. Then a number of hitherto unknown production series could then be allocated to the correct factory. The letter contains this information for the entire Fw 190 production series.

Hi all

I am trying to work out if this Fw190 A-9 Nr 980574 was ever produced as one of the 120 with Norddeutsche Dornierwork?

were those from NDW produced in late 1944?

A very long shot is it recorded either as a lost or on an airfield at the end of WWII.

For what it's worth, the C-Amts reports give the following figures on Fw 190 A-9 production. Sorry, no serial numbers:

Apr 44 - FW - 6
May 44 - ArbG - 21
Jun 44 - Arb.Gem. - 21
Jul 44 - Arb.Gem.W. - 70
Aug 44 - Arb.G. - 30
Sep 44 - FW - 75; Arb.Gem. - 47
Oct 44 - FW - 80 (A9 R11); NDW - 6; Arb.Gem. - 8
Nov 44 - FW - 58 (A9 R11); NDW - 2; Arb.Gem. - 27

Hope this helps,
George

Gentlemen,

Great postings!

Seaplanes, does your "Kennziffer der Nachbaufirmen Fw 190" mention the Fw 190 F-9? Also, any chance we can get a look at the document in question?
