Focke-Wulf Ta 152 The Story of the Luftwaffe's Late-War, High-Altitude Fighter

 

From the time of its appearance in 1939 the Focke-Wulf Fw 190 was one of the best fighter aircraft of WW II - a masterpiece produced by chief designer Kurt Tank. In 1943 he developed a new fighter aircraft based on this successful concept. The project soon deviated far from the original Fw 190 concept and as an honor to the designer it was designated the Ta 152. The Ta 152 could stand up to the best Allied fighter aircraft, such as the P-51 Mustang. The heavy Allied bombing at the end of the war prevented production from beginning as planned, and as a result only a few Ta 152Hs could be delivered.
