Conceived to be purely a fighter, the type soon revealed its potential as a \u003ci\u003eJabo\u003c\/i\u003e fighter-bomber, and the manner in which it was used matured from the ad hoc style of its early operations to highly effective ‘hit-and-run’ coastal raids.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis progress was aided both by frequent refinements from Focke-Wulf and the development of sub-types designed specifically for air-to-ground operations, equipping the Fw 190 to deliver useful munitions loads and also to look after itself when meeting British fighter interception.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis engaging study sees Luftwaffe historian Malcolm V. Lowe chart the action-packed history of the Fw 190 \u003ci\u003eJabo\u003c\/i\u003e force on the Channel Front. Following the aircraft from its origins to its successful strikes on valued targets on England’s south coast and eventual combat during D-Day, the text complements first-hand accounts from both Luftwaffe pilots and their RAF opponents with photographs from private archives and 24 specially commissioned profile artworks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47548193931500,"sku":"9781472865069","price":62.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/b1aab9f94af003750fd254952c52fd73.jpg?v=1776908938","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/products\/fw-190-jabo-units-in-the-west-by-malcolm-v-lowe-9781472865069","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
