Description: An illustrated account of how the Usaaf's might was challenged by the Jagdflieger and their heavily armed and armoured Fw 190 A - 8 Sturmj ger. Developed from one of the finest fighters of World War II the radial - engined Fw 190 A - 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 190 A - 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 Sturmj ger defending the Fatherland from Usaaf bombers protected by powerful Allied escort fighters.
