- Faster than the Spitfire, its rate of roll was exceptional. The high wing loading of the German fighter was the cause of one of its defects with the tendency to stall without warning, with consequent inversion and entry into a spin.
It was subjected to continuous development and improvements that allowed it to remain competitive with the most modern Allied aircraft until Germany's surrender in May 1945. It was generally considered by pilots to be superior to the other main German fighter, the Messerschmitt Bf 109.
- In dozens of versions, the Fw 190 was built in 13,367 units as an interceptor and 6,634 as a fighter-bomber and distinguished itself on all fronts. The aircraft was one of the fruits of the genius of a famous aeronautical designer, Kurt Tank, who managed to summarize in the happiest way the entire "summa" of aerodynamic and structural knowledge of the time in a project that was as classic in its general architecture as it was innovative in its solutions, to the point that the latest piston fighters produced in the world, from the Soviet La.11 to the English "Sea Fury", explicitly reveal their descent from the German leader.

New edition completely revised and updated.
The Focke-Wulf Fw 190 was a single-seat fighter/bomber used by the Luftwaffe during the Second World War: at the time of its entry into service, in 1941, it was, in the opinion of some authors, the most advanced fighter in the world.- Faster than the Spitfire, its rate of roll was exceptional. The high wing loading of the German fighter was the cause of one of its defects with the tendency to stall without warning, with consequent inversion and entry into a spin.
It was subjected to continuous development and improvements that allowed it to remain competitive with the most modern Allied aircraft until Germany's surrender in May 1945. It was generally considered by pilots to be superior to the other main German fighter, the Messerschmitt Bf 109.
