About the Focke-Wulf Fw190D-9 JV44
At the final stages of World
War II, the Messerschmitt Me262 jet fighter became the main fighter of the
German Luftwaffe. Since the Me262 lacked acceleration at low speeds, it was
particularly vulnerable at take off. Hence the formation of the Jagdverband 44
special operations air unit, consisting of Focke-Wulf 190 D-9's that flew cover
for Me262's. The D-9's, with their incredible acceleration and climbing ability,
proved to be more than a match for the powerful P-51's they opposed. Due to the
devoted pilots who tenaciously protected the Me262, the JV44, though formed
during the final stages of the war, managed to amass an uncanny flight record in
just a short period of time.
