Historical description: The Focke-Wulf Fw 190 was one of the most versatile Luftwaffe aircraft of the Second World War, used as a fighter, fighter-bomber, and ground-attack aircraft. The monograph presents, among others, the actions of Jabostaffel over the English Channel, the activity of the Schlachtgeschwader on the Eastern and Western fronts, as well as in the African and Italian campaigns. One chapter even describes Fw 190 operations beyond the Arctic Circle. The author provides insights into the histories of the units, as well as the profiles of pilots who fought with this type of aircraft.

Additional modeling values: The monograph does not contain decals; however, its great advantage is the extremely detailed technical drawings at 1/48 scale and colorful profiles – an excellent source of inspiration for designing your own conversions and painting schemes for models in 1/32, 1/48, and 1/72 scales, among others.
