                 The Focke Wulf FW190A-4/Trop

The changes from the FW190A-3 to the FW190A-4 were fairly
few, the principal ones being the addition of a power boost
system to the BMW 801D-2 engine and the replacement of the
old radio with a FuG 16Z.  There were not many in the
Mediterranean, but a few were tropicalized.  The FW190A-4 had
as armament, 2 x 7.9mm MG17 machineguns in the upper cowling
with 1000 rpg, 2 x MG 151 20mm cannon in the wing roots with
200 rpg, and two wing mounted MG FF 20mm cannon with 55 rpg.
Additionally, optional bombloads were 4 x 110 pound bombs or
1 x 551 pounder.  Two 79 gallon drop tanks were also common.

SPECS:  Top speed (clean) of 382 mph at 19,685 feet, cruise
