Focke-Wulf Fw 190A-7 – German World War II Fighter

The Focke-Wulf Fw 190A-7 is a development version of the famous German fighter designed by Kurt Tank, used by the Luftwaffe. The aircraft entered service in 1944 and was extensively operated on all World War II fronts, both in fighter missions and as a bomber escort, especially over Western Europe and in battles against Allied air forces.
