Fw 190D book
I am looking for a reasonably comprehensive book on the Focke Wulf Fw 190D-series, including the lesser-known variants such as the Fw 190D-11/12/13. During my search for Peter Rodeike's Fw 190 book, which has been difficult to find, I found an attractive substitute:
Focke-Wulf FW 190 Long Nose: An Illustrated History of the FW 190 D Series by Dietmar Harmann Any opinions on this book? Thanks for any input. Kenneth |

Re: Fw 190D book
My humble opinion:
I have the book and cannot rave about it, but for long-nose aficionados, it is good to have. It is a decent reference book and contains photographs I had not seen before. The text always doesn't flow well although maybe some of that is in translation. A very fine read if you are looking for long nose action is 'Bodenplatte' book by Manhro and Putz. |

Re: Fw 190D book
Apples and oranges. The Harmann book(s) are perhaps not excellent, but very good books, however they do not pack the same (if at all) level of operational material.
OTOH I prefer the two to be seperate to begin with (detailed technical or design vs operational histories). The two can be combined, but seldom present both sides on the same level.
