	Focke-Wulf Fw 189 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Focke-Wulf Fw 189 Uhu (Eagle Owl) was a twin-engine twin-boom three seat tactical reconnaissance and army cooperation aircraft.
		It first flew in 1938 (Fw 189V1), entered service in 1940, and was produced until mid-1944.
		There was a ground attack variant Fw 189C conceived, but its two prototypes V1b and V6 were not satisfactory, and it was not produced.

	Focke-Wulf Fw 190 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Focke-Wulf Fw 190 was a single-seater, single-engine fighter aircraft of the Luftwaffe, and one of the best fighters of its generation.
		Fw 190A's were also to control the unmanned Ju88 Mistel bomb carriers during the last days of the European WWII.
		The BMW 139 finally was canceled, and the Fw 190 employed the 14 cylinder BMW 801 instead.

	Focke-Wulf Fw 189 Uhu
		Ten Fw 189B trainers were specially manufactured and had a conventional nacelle with side-by-side dual controls in a normal cockpit, and above the trailing edge there was an observer.
		Only after very successful flights tests and trials was the Fw 189 reluctantly ordered in small quantities to serve as a standard reconnaissance aircraft.
		Gradually only the French factories with assembly at Bordeaux-Mérignac (the Dassault Mirage plant today) were producing the Fw 189, and they stopped as the Allies closed in during 1944.

	Focke Wulf 189 Restoration Society
		The Focke Wulf 189 was a reconnaissance aircraft which served with the Luftwaffe (German Airforce) during World War II.
		The 189 was used mainly on the Eastern Front and was known both as ‘The Flying Eye’, due to the superb all-round vision afforded by its distinctively glazed fuselage, and as the Uhu (Owl).
		We believe our 189 to be the world's last remaining example and it is therefore of utmost importance that this unique aircraft is restored.

	Freefire Zone Forums - WWII Aircraft Part 26 : FW 189 Uhl
		The Focke-Wulf Fw 189 was designed as a reconnaissance attack aircraft for the close support of ground forces and was of unorthodox construction.
		The Fw 189 V 1 (Versuchs, or prototype), first flew in July 1938 and was designed by Kurt Tank.
		The Fw 189 was to be almost exclusively used on the Eastern Front, which accounts for why it features so rarely in Western reports.

	MPM - Focke Wulf Fw 189A
		Focke Wulf Fw 189 in Action, George Punka, Squadron Signal Publications
		The Fw 189 proved to be as good under combat conditions as the prototype had proven in testing.
		Named Eule (owl) by Focke Wulf, results of prototype testing proved to be beyond the "most sanguine expectations", and produced not only a ground attack variant, but also a seaplane prototype.

	Focke-Wulf Fw 191 Luft '46 Prototypes Entry
		This was the "Bomber B" program, which Arado, Dornier, Focke-Wulf and Junkers participated in.
		Although the Fw 191 will be remembered as a failure, the air frame and overall design eventually proved themselves to be sound, only the underpowered engines and insistence on electric motors to operate all the systems eventually dooming the aircraft.
		The Fw 191 V6 was then modified to the new design, and also a pair of specially prepared Jumo 222 engines were fitted that developed 2200 horsepower for takeoff.

	Focke-Wulf Fw 190
		The Fw 190D was a very good high-altitude interceptor, equal to the P-51D or Spitfire XIV and without the altitude limitations of the Fw 190A.
		Designed by Dr. Kurt Tank, the Fw 190 was built as a sturdy all-round fighter, rather than a lightweight interceptor; but the early Fw 190A's nevertheless proved clearly superior to the Spitfire Mk.V. The Fw 190 was a better fighter than the Bf 109, except at high altitude.
		The small Fw 190 was one of the greatest fighters of WWII.

	Focke-Wulf Fw 189A by Matt Swan (MPM 1/48)
		The Focke-Wulf Fw 189A observation plane was a fine example of an aircraft fulfilling its role.
		I wanted to open the top access doors and had to spend quite a bit of research time before running across a picture of a 189 sitting on an airstrip with the doors open.
		The rest of the assembly and painting were pretty much standard until I got to the greenhouse.

	Condor's 1/72 Fw 189A-1
		The Focke Wulf Fw 189 was a rather unique-looking aircraft designed for reconnaissance and artillery spotting.
		I've been wanting to build up the old Airfix kit of the Fw 189 for some time, but I was turned off by the amount of work needed to do this plane justice.
		Since this is the Fw 189A-1, the armament consists of single machine guns and these are well-molded and even include the shell collector tube for the upper rear gun.

	Focke-Wulf FW-189
		The Focke-Wulf Fw 189 two-motor general-purpose monoplanes are now in service with the Luftwaffe in large numbers and have been used extensively on the Russian front.
		The Fw 189 is not fast, well armed or of any great carrying capacity.
		They appear to have succeeded the Fw series in production at Bremen and are now being turned out there together with the Fw 190 single-seat fighter.

		This and the desire to ensure the production of the Focke-Wulf Fw 200 Condor (which took place on 80% of the assembly shop space at Blohm und Voss after a bombing raid on the Focke-Wulf plant) made the RLM choose the reliable Focke-Wulf Fw 189.
		The Fw 189 was a surprise to the RLM, because it had two engines.
		The Fw 189 proved to be a excellent airplane.

	Blohm & Voss Bv-141, Chronicles of the Arixo Air Defense Force
		Focke Wulf proposed its Fw-189, while at Blohm and Voss, designer Richard Vogt came up with what is certainly the most asymmetrical airplane ever flown.
		It would have been intriguing to know what Vogt had in mind when he conceived her, as it would be interesting to know what charisma he must have brought into play in order to convince his employers to take such a design to the Reich Luftfarhtsministerium (Air Ministry).
		The story of the poor, deformed Bv-141 began in the late 1930s when the Luftwaffe was shopping for a light ground attack aircraft to supplement the Junkers Ju-87 Stuka, which was already in production.

		There was also a Fw 189C five-seat trainer (few built), and a Fw 189B anti-tank aircraft with a small armored nacelle (The Hs 129 was preferred).
		The Fw 189 was a very effective aircraft, maneuverable and sturdy.
		This was an twin-boom tactical reconnaissance aircraft with an extensively glazed nacelle.

		These parts were not supplied with the Fw 189, so the master was borrowed from MPM's Ar-196.
		In 1996, after more than half a century, Lothar Mothes was invited to Biggin Hill Airshow to be reunited with his original Fw 189.
		I then purchased a superb book about the Fw 189 from Czech publisher MBI, which made it possible to superdetail the kit.

		The preferred contractors were to be Arado, but the request prompted the Focke-Wulf company to work up the alternative idea of the Focke-Wulf Fw 189, a twin-boom design with two smaller engines and a central crew gondola, while Blohm + Voss proposed something far more radical.
		By the time that a batch of five Bv 141Bs were built with the more powerful BMW 801 engines they were too late to make an impression, and the authorities proceeded instead to order production of the Fw 189.
		Three further prototypes and an evaluation batch of five Bv 141As were produced, but the assessment was that they were underpowered.

		The Airfix Fw 189 comes with a pilot, half a copilot (waist up) and an un-detailed prone tail gunner.
		The co pilot was replaced with the pilot from the Airfix Bv 141 (which I find ironic), and the tail gunner was modified.

		Official preference was for the Focke-Wulf Fw 189, but Hamburger Flugzeugbau built a private venture Ha 141-0 prototype.
		Five pre-production BV 141B-0 aircraft were then built with the BMW 801 radial engine (same as the Focke-Wulf Fw 190 fighter) and extensive redesign.
		This unorthodox design featured an asymmetric layout, the engine being installed at the forward end of a port-side tail boom, with the extensively glazed crew nacelle mounted to starboard.
