Historical Background and Use of the Focke-Wulf Ta 152C-11

The Focke-Wulf Ta 152C-11 was an advanced high-altitude fighter of the Luftwaffe, designed by Kurt Tank in the final years of World War II (1944–1945). It was a development of the popular Fw 190, but featured a more powerful engine and improved armament, intended to counter Allied bombers and escort fighters. Due to limited production and its late entry into service, the Ta 152C-11 was used only by select Luftwaffe units, mainly during the defense of the Reich in the war's closing stages. The only operator of this aircraft was the Luftwaffe (Germany).
