Focke-Wulf Fw 190

fighter

Kurt Tank's radial-engined fighter outclassed the Spitfire Mk V on its 1941 debut over the Channel, forcing a hasty British redesign. Fast, heavily armed, and forgiving to fly compared to the Bf 109, it was built in more fighter-bomber and ground-attack variants than any other German type.
