Developed from one of the finest fighters of World War II, the radial-engined Fw 190A-8 was conceived as a heavy assault aircraft and armed accordingly. Its mission was to provide a response to the increasing numbers of USAAF B-17 and B-24 bombers operating against targets in the western and central Reich.  This book explores the fascinating feats of the men flying the Fw 190A-8 and its subvariants. These pilots were given exceptional training and many were volunteers, some of whom were willing to sign oaths that they would bring down a bomber at all costs - even if it meant ramming the enemy aircraft.  Using first-hand accounts, archival photos, full-colour illustrations, maps and tactical diagrams, acclaimed Luftwaffe expert Robert Forsyth puts readers in the cockpit of a  Sturmjager  defending the Fatherland from USAAF bombers protected by powerful Allied escort fighters.","brand":"Book Grocer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50705187832027,"sku":"9781472857460-RETAIL","price":29.74,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/50b99315-73ac-4c75-b59a-b444c0a893c5.jpg?v=1792068717","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781472857460-retail-fw-190-sturmjager-defence-of-the-reich-1943-45","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
