| Lutz Brocke Bremen, NY | Sorry to say but the picture of those 2 Doras taking-off submitted by Eric Leduc is copyrighted by me. Have a look at my website: www.dora9.de

| Chris G Holland, MI | First off, the specs for the D-9 are wrong. The top speed of 426 mph is listed in almost every book is incorrrect. If people would do a little research instead of copying data sources that are older then dirt we might have a more rounded look at the D-9.
I suggest researching a bit more before posting incorrect data. 10/05/2006 @ 10:34 [ref: 14378] |
| Warren Waldmann St. Louis, MO | The Fw 190D-9 was powered by a Junkers Jumo 213A-1 engine. Another varient was the Fw 190D-11 which was armed with 2 MK108 cannon for ground attack. The next 2 models were engined with the Jumo 213F engine and they were armed with single nose mounted MK 108 in the D-12 or the MK103 in the D-13.
The long span Ta 152 was powered by the Jumo 213E-3. 09/25/2006 @ 16:57 [ref: 14286] |
| Ken Hunt Napier, OTH | I have listed some of the best reference books on the Fw190D and Ta152 that I have found so far:
Fw190 Vol 4 by kagero Focke Wulf 190 Long Nose by Schiffer Focke Wulf Ta152 by Schiffer Fw 190D Walk Around by Squadron Fw 190 D and Ta152 Close Up by Monogram Dora\'s of the Galland Circus by Eagle Editions Yellow 10 story of the Fw 190 D13 by Eagle Editions Green Hearts First in combat by Eagle Editions Focke Wulf Fw190D Part 1 by Japo Luftwaffe colours by Hikoki Publications Experten Decals History Cam & Markings Parts 1 & 3 Wings of the Luftwaffe by Airlife I hope to have the Part 2 by JaPo on the Fw190D and Monogram\'s Monarch on the Ta152 soon. Using these reference books has enabled to build several kits of these Aircraft as well. A fascinating subject especially the late D Series prototypes and Ta152. 09/10/2006 @ 04:30 [ref: 14125] |
| Nathanael Wilde Vancouver, WA | You're right, many of those pictures aren't 190D's. The name of the assymetric design escapes me, but it was supposed to be a forward recon plane (all the glass is for the observer, they were slow). 190D's had liquid cooled V engines, their radiators were annular, so they look like they're still radials, but the line of exhaust pipes down the side is a clue. Pictures with id=980 and 474 are good examples of 190Ds. Picture 7107 is clearly radial powered, so it isn't. Picture 3178 may be a Ta-152 or a 190 variant prototype of the Ta-152; the extended tail and greater wing span is clearly visible- not a standard 190D!

| Sake Dordrecht, YT | The fw 190D is for sure a beautiful airplane and also got good performance. I always found this airplane very atractive. About the topspeed thats about 686 kmh. The Ta 152 C and ta 152 H are faster.
I really want to visit this museum for once, jut for the fw 190D alone!!! By the way, someone got good photos of the fw 190D or got links for me? Greetings from the Netherlands 05/19/2005 @ 08:12 [ref: 10265] |
| RON los angeles, CA | These can't all be FW 190D's. Which one is it? And what is the one with the assymetrical planform? What was it designed to do? 03/14/2005 @ 11:18 [ref: 9705] |
| d. guerrero porter, TX | at the beggining the pilots did not thrust the new engine in the dora, they considered that engine as a bomber engine not a fighter engine, but soon the improved plane showed the potential of the new engine 02/15/2005 @ 22:59 [ref: 9449] |
| Carl Sisco Wilmington, NC | Ever since reading a book written by one of the last Luftwaffe Pilots of WWII. I've been facinated by the FW-190D9! Not only is it a beautiful airplane, it was a real winner in the right hands. The author of the book said that the german pilots considered the FW-190D9,the P-51D and the Tempest, to be equal in performance and handling. The only difference was the training, experiance and tenacity of the pilot! 10/24/2004 @ 20:25 [ref: 8498] |
| STEVEN W. WILGUS EL PASO, TX | THE FW-190D WAS A SUPERB FIGHTER GIVEN THE WAR-TIME CONDITIONS OF GERMANY AT THE TIME OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ADVANCED "F-W'S" THROUGH TO THE TA 152. IT IS INTERESTING TO THINK/TALK ABOUT WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED HAD THE TWO-FRONT WAR NOT TAKEN PKA, AND THE MINIMAL NUMBER OF U-BOATS THAT ADMIRAL DOENITZ WANTED BEEN AVAILABLE. THE F-W 'S WOULD EVENTUALLY COME TO RULE THE PISTON DRIVEN SKIES, AND THE JETS IN DEVELOPMENT MAY HAVE ALLOWED SUFFICIENT TIME TO ACTUALLY WIN. FOR REASONS I CAN'T EXPLAIN, I HAVE ALWAYS FOUND THE FOCKE-WULFS TO BE THE MOST INTERESTING AIRCAFT. I REALLY LIKE THE IDEA OF PEOPLE WITH LIKE "LIKES" BEING "OUT THERE."
MANY MOD'S WERE DONE IN THE FIELD WITH NO RECORDS KEPT - THE PILOT AND MONKEYS KEPT A/C FLYING WITH SO LITTLE SUPPORT THAT I AM AMAZED ANY COULD GET OFF THE GROUND; THIS DOESN'T "SPEAK" VOLUMES ON THE GENIUS OF THE DESIGN TEAMS, IT VERILLY SCREAMS IT. TOO BAD THE ALLIES TOOK THE WRONG TURN AND WAITED TO GET ON THE BALL. THE P-51 ET AL WAS PROBABLY THE EQUAL OF THE BUTCHER BIRD, BUT I THINK THAT GIVEN A LITTLE MORE TIME AND INDUSTRIAL "FREEDOM" THE TA-152 OWULD PROVE TO BE THE MATCH ON ANY PISTON AIRCRAFT.
