Historical background and use

The Focke-Wulf Fw 190D-9, commonly known as the "Dora", was an improved version of the basic Fw 190 fighter. The D-9 variant entered Luftwaffe service towards the end of World War II, in 1944. Equipped with a Junkers Jumo 213A engine, it provided better high-altitude performance, allowing it to more effectively oppose Allied bombers and modern fighters such as the P-51 Mustang. This aircraft was mainly used by German fighter units in the final phase of the conflict, most often over Germany and occupied Western Europe.
