An illustrated history of the FW 190D Series covering the
development of those variants of the Fw 190 powered by
inline engines. Production of the Fw 190C, D and the Ta 153
was delayed by the German air ministry, and not until 1944
did the Fw 190D-9, powered by the Jumo 213A, enter
production. It was an immediate success and quickly entered
Luftwaffe service with more than 1,700 examples being
completed by the end of the war. The D-9 gave rise to a
number of improved variants with the more powerful Jumo 213F
engine and heavier armament, however only a handful of the
D-11 and D-13 versions were completed.
