	Focke-Wulf Fw 44 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Focke-Wulf Fw 44 was a two-seater biplane known as the Stieglitz (Goldfinch).
		The Luftwaffe used the Fw 44C - the final version - almost universally as a trainer during World War II.
		It was produced by Focke-Wulf for pilot training and aerobatics.

	Focke-Wulf Fw 200 Condor
		It resulted from discussions held by Dipl Ing Kurt Tank, technical director of Focke-Wulf Flugzeugbau of Bremen, and the board of DLH (Deutsche Lufthansa), the state airline, in the spring of 1936.
		The remaining six Fw 200C-0s were given the locally reinforced structure and simple armament comprising three 7.92 mm (0.31 in) MG 15 machine guns, one in a small (almost hemispherical) turret behind the flight deck, one in a rear dorsal cokcpit with a fold-over hood and the third fired from a rear ventral hatch.
		Oddly, the Fw 200C-4 went back to the HDL 151 turret and MG 15s elsewhere except for the front of the gondola, which had the MG 131 or MG 151/20 depending on whether or not the Lofte 7D was fitted.

	Kit Reviews: Focke-Wulf FW 190 / Ta 152 in 1/72 Scale
		Variant of the earlier Hasegawa FW 190 A-8 kits, the G-8 was a Jabo-Rei with flame dampers and long-range fuel tanks.
		This is a resin kit of the FW 190 F captured by the Soviets and tested with a Russian M-82 radial engine.
		Yet another variant of the Hasegawa FW 190 A series, this kit includes white metal broad chord prop blades and a 14 blade fan to replace the 12 blade unit in the A-8.

		Redesignated the Fw 44 and given the name Stieglitz (Goldfinch), the new design was to become one of the first major successes for Focke-Wulf.
		The Fw 44 also caught the attention of the German Luftwaffe, which ordered a large number of Goldfinches for service in its pilot schools, and these continued to serve in the training role until the end of the war in 1945.
		Fw 44s were also flown in aerobatic competitions and displays by famed pilots Otto Graf, Emil Kopf and Ernst Udet.

	Focke Wulf Fw 190A-8
		The Fw 190A-8 was the last of the A series Focke Wulf 190 (mass produced).
		The Focke Wulf was for the early years of the war considered Germany's "other iron in the fire" as far as the Luftwaffe was concerned.
		The FW 190D9 also fires her 20mm cannon in the same time as her FW siblings, with the same ammunition loadout as the FW 190A8.

	Kurt Tank
		Tank then started work on the design of the Fw 44, Focke Wulf's first commercially successful design, launched in 1934.
		Before Focke Wulf, Tank was employed by Albatros Flugzeugwerke, but after their bankruptcy in 1929, the company was broken up with most of the designers going to Focke-Wulf and a few others going to Arado in 1931.
		The Fw 190 Würger (butcher-bird), produced from 1939 to 1945, was a mainstay Luftwaffe single-seat fighter during World War II.

	Focke Wulf Fw 190 "Long Nose"...
		This book covers the complete development history of those variants of the Focke-Wulf Fw 190 powered by inline engines.
		The Fw 190 D-9 gave rise to a number of improved variants with the more powerful Jumo 213 F engine and a heavier armament, however only a handful of the D-11 and D-13 versions were completed.
		With a maximum speed of 750 km/h, the Fw 190 D-12 powered by the new Jumo 213 EB would have represented the apex of Fw 190 development.

	Focke-Wulf Fw 190D-9 Review by Jerry Crandall (Hasegawa 1/32)
		They must plan to do an early 210 series D-9 or “Red 13” from JV 44, in a future release that requires this 5 piece cowling.
		The canopy installation with its sliding rod into the track on the upper deck is also a nice touch, so it aligns itself automatically, therefore the modeler just has to decide in what position he chooses to place the canopy.
		The gun cowling has the early 5 piece style gun cowl, but they instruct you to fill the panel lines as this cowling is not appropriate to any of the decals supplied with the kit.

		Focke selected the Focke Wulf FW-44 Stieglitz as the basis for his design.
		The origin of this project began when, many years ago, I obtained a Pegasus 1/72 scale Focke Wulf FW-44 Stieglitz training biplane.
		In the early thirties, Focke Wulf contracted with the Cierva firm to build under license C.19 and C.30 autogyros.

	Focke-Wulf Twin-Engine Jet Fighter Project of 11/44 - Luft '46 entry
		This Focke-Wulf project was submitted by Professor Kurt Tank in late 1944 for a twin-jet fighter which could be used as a fighter, fighter/bomber or long-range fighter, and was to be constructed entirely of metal.
		The information learned during this project's design was later used in the Fw J.

	Focke-Wulf Fw 190D-11 by Graham Tarra (ProModeler 1/48)
		The Doras of JV 44 were responsible for protecting Messerschmitt Me 262s from Hawker Tempests and P51 Mustangs during their take off and landings.
		The model is built almost straight from the box including the decals, which represent a machine from JV 44, werknummer 170933.
		In any case, the blown canopy was in quite short supply by this stage of the war.

	Focke-Wulf Fw 190D-11 by Ingemar Caisander (Tamiya and Bob Stephenson Conversion 1/48)
		Since Tamiya's 1/48 scale Focke-Wulf Fw 190D-9 kit apparently would have pretty much fallen together on its own if built straight from-the-box (judged from earlier reviews of the kit) I decided to add a little challenge to the project by converting the aircraft into one of the late-war D-11 prototypes.
		The D-11 variant of the venerable Focke-Wulf 190 was designed as a much-improved low-level interceptor fighter refinement of the "Langnasen Dora", incorporating many of the features found on the powerful Ta 152.
		Based on rebuilt Fw 190A-8 airframes the D-11 mounted a new 35-litre Jumo 213F inverted V12 engine rated at 2060 hp for take-off.

	Commando 5 1/72 Focke Wulf FW-58 Weihe (Galeão D-2Fw)
		Brazil, before political alignment with the USA, was granted manufacturing licences of Focke Wulf aircraft like the FW-44 Stieglitz and the FW-58 Weihe, which were being built in the Galeão plant, in Rio de Janeiro.
		The Focke Wulf 58 Weihe (Kite) was an important plane of the Luftwaffe during WW II, seeing widespread use (by other countries too) in a variety of duties such as transport, liaison, training, ambulance, flight testing, patrol, attack and even crop dusting.
		It is an airplane long awaited in 1/72 kit form, and now it is available thanks to this Comando 5 release, which brings us the "B" version (Brazilian-built planes were designated "Galeão D-2Fw").

	Focke-Wulf Fw 44 Stieglitz
		The Fw 44 was the company's first commercially successful design, the work of their new designer Kurt Tank.
		The Fw 44 was used by Luftwaffe training units all through the Second World War, and probably every German pilot flew the Stieglitz at some time in his training or flying career.
		A second version of the design was the Fw 44B, which used an Argus As 8 four-cylinder inverted inline air-cooled engine of 120 horsepower.

	Focke-Wulf fw 190C-0 V13 by Floyd S. Werner Jr. (R.V Resin 1/48)
		The Focke-Wulf Fw 190 was a great fighter but its ultimate performance potential was limited by its non-supercharged engine.
		I’d be forced to buy the complete range of those, but based on my experience with their Focke-Wulf series, I purchased an R.V. Resin Ta-152C-0 V7.
		The Fw 190C was a projected high altitude aircraft.

		Chris Wauchop must really like Hasegawa's 1/32 scale Focke-Wulf Fw 190D-9, released earlier in 2003.
		Chris wanted to build his third large-scale Dora as soon as he heard that Eagle Cals were issuing their JV 44 "Papagei Staffel" markings in 1/32 scale.

	WRG - Luftwaffer Resource Center - Erich Hondt
		Hondt was shot down and wounded while flying his heavily armed Focke-Wulf Fw 190A-5 "Swarze 13" on October 8, 1943.
		The Werk-Nummer 410266 identifies Hondt's aircraft as a Fw 190A-5 but the underwing cannon are most likely a field addition of the Rustsatze 1 "kit" which gave the Fw 190 the massive total firepower of six 20mm MG 151 cannon plus its two MG 17 machine guns.
		We believe the colorful Fw 190 flown by Lt. Hondt is often misidentified as a Fw 190A-5/U12 which according to most resources only two prototypes were built.
