Description
'No Way Through'
Focke-Wulf Fw 190 D9s lead by Major Gerhard Barkhorn, Geschwader Komodore of Jg6, as they try to find a way through to attack an American B-26 formation that is closely defended by P-51s. Perhaps the zenith of German propeller-driven technology, the Jg6 squadron of D9s had little impact in the final months of the war. Even though commanded by Barkhorn, a 300+ kill ace, the combination of novice squadron members and a complete lack of air superiority contributed to their failure to make any real impact.

The FW 190 Dora D was indeed a great performing airplane designed by Kurt Tank it used an in line engine but the annular radiator gave it the appearance of a radial. The rear fuselage was lengthened to compensate for the much longer engine than the BMW which it replaced. The TA 152 was a very high altitude version and was faster then the P-47 Ms of the 56th fighter group and even the P-51Ks. but they were produced in small numbers very late in the war.
