Focke-Wulf Fw-190 A8

The Focke-Wulf Fw 190A-8 was a primary German Luftwaffe fighter in the final year of World War II, used extensively across all theaters including the Western Front (Normandy), the Eastern Front, and for air defense over Germany. It served as a day fighter, ground-attack aircraft, and specialized bomber destroyer, particularly against US bomber formations. 
 
Key Deployment Areas and Roles:
Defense of the Reich: The A-8 variant, heavily armed and armored, was essential for countering Allied bombing raids, often acting as a heavy interceptor.
Western Front (Normandy/France): Used to combat the Allied invasion, fighting against overwhelming numbers.
Eastern Front: Employed in large numbers for ground attack and aerial combat against Soviet forces.
Capabilities: As the most produced variant, it was powered by the BMW 801 radial engine, capable of 408 mph, and often armed with four 20mm cannons and two 13mm machine guns. 
 
The A-8 served until the end of the war, frequently operating from airfields in Germany and occupied territories.
