Spot welded Fw190 fuselage
The Focke-Wulf Works at Bad-Eilson produced 10 Fw190 fuselages that were spot welded instead of punch riveted. These fuselages were apparently delivered to a production line and used to produce 10 Fw190’s.
These aircraft went into service in 1943. The firm never received any reports on their behaviour. From a production point of view, the advantages of spot welding were not considered outstanding in comparison with automatic punch riveting. Has anyone seen or read more about these 10 unusual Fw190. I wonder what happened when the crash-landed, did de break apart? Dennis
