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. This 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\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This 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.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMalcolm V.
