The Focke-Wulf Fw 190, nicknamed "Würger" (which means "Shrike" in German), was a German single-seat, single-engine fighter aircraft designed by Kurt Tank at Focke-Wulf in the late 1930s. Widely used during World War II, it became the backbone of the Luftwaffe's Jagdwaffe (Fighter Force). Powered by a twin-row BMW 801 radial engine, the Fw 190 excelled as a day fighter, fighter-bomber, and ground-attack aircraft. It outperformed the Spitfire Mk. V at low and medium altitudes. Although its high-altitude performance was limited, it paved the way for the later Focke-Wulf Ta 152. Over 20,000 Fw 190s were built
