Focke-Wulf FW.190 Wurger
The
FW.190 "Wurger" was designed by Kurt Tank in the 1930s. Its first air
combat was in November of 1942 on the Eastern Front. Over 13,000
FW.190s were produced during WWII. There were multiple versions and
configurations of the FW.190 during the war. This FW.190 is an A9 built
in 1944 (according to FAA records), carrying the markings of Weis 14 of
JG300 "Wild Sau". Oscar Bosch flew an aircraft with these markings in
WWII, getting 18 kills, including 8 4-engined bombers. The FW.190 and
the Messerschmitt Bf-109 were the main fighter force of the Luftwaffe
in WWII.
