WWII Fave: Focke Wulf Fw190
A real shocker for the Allies during the mid 1943-44. This was one
wicked dogfighter. Spitfire Mk IXs were totally outclassed. During
the battle of Dieppe, the sea-borne landings failed because the RAF
were raped big time by this new German fighter.
- The Battle of Dieppe happened in 19 August 1942
- The British were using Spitfire IX from June 1942
- The Germans were using Fw-190D & G as in 1942
- The Spitfire IX was a success considering that it was an interim
aircraft
