Fw 190 Squadron
The Focke-Wulf Fw 190 Würger, also abbreviated as Fw 190, is a single-seat, single-engine fighter used by the German forces after 1941. Alongside its counterpart, Messerschmitt Bf 109, it became the backbone for the Luftwaffe’s Jagdwaffe.
On its debut combat, the Focke-Wulf was superior to the Spitfire V, which happened to be the Allies main plane at the time, in almost every way. Mostly suited for low-medium altitude fights, the Focke-Wulf proved to be the superior plane until the Allies introduced the Spitfire XI.
Bf 110 Squadron
The Messerschmitt Bf 110, also shortened to Bf 110, is a twin-engined heavy fighter and fighter-bomber in service for the German forces. Armed with 2 20mm cannons and 5 machine guns, it made up for its lack of agility with armament and advanced tactics.
Its debut had a large amount of success serving in Poland, France and Norway. Even after, it continued its service until the end of the war.
