Converted by Focke-Wulf from a radial-engined fighter into a deadly fighter-bomber and ground-attack aircraft, it used its aerial gun platform, wide-tracked undercarriage and powerful BMW engines to devastating effect on the Eastern, Western and Mediterranean Fronts between 1942 and 1945. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this new study, leading Luftwaffe historian Robert Forsyth examines all aspects of the Fw 190 and its career as a 'tank-buster', detailing the considerable damage it wrought upon Allied armour, troop concentrations, bridges and road junctions. First-hand accounts from \u003ci\u003eSchlachtflieger\u003c\/i\u003e pilots bring to life the operational and tactical histories of the aircraft, and are complemented by archive photos and newly commissioned artwork that vividly demonstrates its technical and ballistic assets.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Osprey Publishing (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/28\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781472867834\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.76h x 7.24w x 1.00d","brand":"Robert Forsyth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52604445622453,"sku":"9781472867834","price":21.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/fw-190-schlacht-units-9781472867834","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
