Description

The first correct narrowed history of the paint and markings of the radial engine FW 190, including camouflage evolution through the series by the major manufacturers, is here. The who, what, where, when, and why are explained. This book covers Dornier’s production of the FW 190. Over 40 High-resolution, historically accurate colour profiles capture the real appearance of the FW 190 with accompanying descriptions of paint colours, camouflage designs, markings, and their application. 76 original photographs, some never-before-seen, taken during or just after the war, are included in this book. The story of how each producer of FW 190s, after devastating bombings of the factories and complications of dispersed component construction, succeeded in building even larger numbers of FW 190s is a glamorous tale by itself. This story is told along with other interesting stories relevant to NDW’s production. The facts for these stories are proven, with over 60 documents and factory site maps both captured and created by Allied reconnaissance. Mostly unheard of advancements to the performance of production BMW 801 engine’s installed on NDW’s FW 190s are documented and included as well. This book and its series sisters are priceless resources if you are an enthusiast, scale-model builder, or historian.
