Thanks widewing, this stuff is always interesting.

Without the proper context some parts are hard to grasp:
How can the P-47 outturn the 190, yet the 190 "tends to black out the pilot".

Beats me...

However, download the document and read the part about G suits.. The 9th AF was fully equipped with them right around D-Day.

For Neil Sterling and Mike Williams. Likewise something of interest for Luftwaffe buffs too.

My regards,

Widewing, it's a long shot, but have you seen any mention of the Ta152 anywhere?

I didn't see anything in this document. However, this document was written in mid 1944, long before the Ta 152 was known to the Allies. There are several references to the Fw 290, which is in reality, the Fw 190C. This fighter was a precursor to the Ta 152.

My regards,

Widewing

Yes, I meant anywhere in wartime documents like these, written by the allies. Anything that compared the Ta 152 with its allied competitors.

Thanks

Very cool stuff WW, thanks! I must say I wish it wasn't a misprint on the P-38s armament, first page in the thread- 1 20mm and 4 50mm- uber

I wish we'd get a DB 603 powered Dora. It would rule.

^^^Or even the plane you just posted a picture of, Viking: Fw 190D-13. Has an engine with a much higher rated altitude than the D-9 (30000+ft) and has 3x20mm cannon.

Widewing, in addition to being the Fw 190C, the Fw 290 possibly could have also been based off information on the Ta152A and B which would have been in development at that time. Both were to be powered by various versions of the Jumo 213, but the DB603 had also been designated as an alternative powerplant.
