Country: | Okay, I'm new to this (old) thread . . .
Anybody ever heard of that "other" late-War high-altitude fighter, the Fw 190 V18 with the "big" DB603G? It had a huge, four paddle-bladed propeller (ala Hawker Typhoon Mark 1B); top speed was supposed to be around 480 mph at altitude.
Quote: "The FW 190 V18 was designed and built as a prototype for the high-altitude FW 190 C, and in V18/U1 form it had the DB 603 A engine driving a four-bladed propeller. The FW 190 C was a projected high-altitude fighter that never came to fruition; even so five prototypes were completed, the FW 190 V18, V29, V30, V32 and V33. Each of these aircraft had DB 603 inline engines, annular radiators, Hirth 9-2281 turbochargers and four-bladed propellers. The FW 190 V18 was coded CF + OY and received a white outline Balkenkreuz and Hakenkreuz. By 1944 the project had been halted by technical problems and opposition to use of the DB 603 (which was needed for other aircraft types)."
Here's what it looked like:  | |

Country: | Hi,
even though I know this has nothing to do with this thread I thought you could be interested in. Here is a picture of Willi´s ''white 6'' after his crash landing on August 29th 1944 near Banov (Czechoslovakia). I got this picture from mayor of Banov last year.
Nice weekend boys
Roman
