I think Fw-190A-9 will be a great addition to AH2, and i wanna know how many of them were built.

many more than those that were sent into active service.

Here you have a list of allocated werk numbers for 190s.

FW-190A9 numbers can be tricky.  The documents I have show serial production began in September of 1944.

However, a conversion program began in May '44 to the BMW 801TH motor.  The aircraft will be redesignated FW-190A9.  Aircraft equipped with the Hybrid Motor BMW 801TU will remain FW-190A8.

In July '44 conversions began to the BMW801TS motor as well.  It is unclear whether these aircraft were redesignated.  I doubt it as the FW-190A8/R11 was serial produced with only the BMW801TS motor and the FW-190A8/R7 & R8 had priority for this motor.  Neither Rustsatz's was redesignated.  FW-190A9's were serial produced with this motor as well.

The FW-190A9 begins showing up in the JG's in June '44.

Between serial production and conversion programs, by October '44, the FW-190A9 or it's equivalent made up the bulk of the FW-190A's.


All the best,
