Color artwork is also included, plus an extensive selection of original manufacturer's technical drawings. The books are the product of years of study by two of the leading researchers. This volume looks at the Focke-Wulf Fw 190 A6-A10 and D series and the FW 190 F and G fighter bomber development, covering the first operations by the Schlachtgeschwader until spring 1943; the FW 190 A-6 and A-7 and operations until the end of 1943; the FW 190 A-8 to A-10 and operations in the west until June 1944; the FW 190 A operations in the east until June 1944; and ground-attack operations until June 1944. This is the second of a comprehensive three-volume reference work on the iconic Focke Wulf FW 190--arguably the finest piston-engined fighter aircraft of World War 2. Each volume contains more than four hundred photographs including those showing factory and construction, close-ups of weapons and equipment, operational units, and numerous facsimiles of Focke-Wulf handbook drawings. An appendix details Werknummer batches and manufacturers.

German Butcherbird As I am not a native English speaker, so I am not quite sure which adjective I should use to describe this book: marvellous, magnificient, wonderful?If there is one thing I am sure about is that as long as this kind of books will be aroundI am sorry I DO NOT NEED E-BOOKS!It is just a pleasure paging through the 300+ thick paper, large format pages full of countless high quality pictures, line drawings and colour profiles!I already have several CLASSIC volumes, including the first volume about this famous radial engine German fighter plane, but I everytime you open one of these books it is justwow!So what is in it?. Great detail, excellent photograph selection Andrew C Another stunning book by Smith and Creek team published by Classic Publications. Many of the photos I have not seen before, and some interesting photos of two seat trainers. The details assembled on the planes of this era cover unit conflicts, location of operations, testing of armaments and more with many reports and quotes from the pilots. Details include appendices that cover all the Werknummer batches with manufacturers, call signs and dates of production. Truly a must have book for those interested in the FW190 history with close attention to detail, and photographs.. Second verse, same as the first Jim Davis The high standards set in the first volume continue in the first. Volume 2 is a continuation of Volume 1 in all respects. There are exactly the same number of pages in this volume as in the previous volume (336). The page numbering picks up from that volume as well.

We have more appendices this volume (4) and the numberingwell, you get the idea.It seems almost certain that the entire three volume series was written continuously as there are virtually no seams between volumes.
