First flying in 1939, the Focke-Wulf FW190 was an immediate threat to RAF fighters
when introduced in late 1941, being faster and more manoeuvrable than the Spitfire
V then in service.
The F-8 was the ground-attack version and differed primarily in its lack of outboard
cannons. Various combinations of underwing weapons were fitted, but the most
common was one centreline bomb and four small bombs on the wings.
The A-8 version was the most numerous, heavily armed variant and entered service in
1944 in an attempt to stop Allied daylight raids. By then, however, the new Allied
fighters had begun to outclass it.
