The content of Part II closely follows the outline of Part I, with rules and detailed descriptions of colour patterns applied to Fw 190D-9s and D-13s assembled by Focke-Wulf’s licence manufacturers, to know the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Weserflug (Arb. Roland) at Bremen and Aslau, Mimetall Erfurt and the Gerhard Fieseler Werk at Kassel. Separate chapters are dedicated to the influence of repair work on the final appearance of aircraft, and the comparison of different Doras in single units within a given timeframe.

There is also a section of a slightly different form – this “bonus” chapter deals with the detailed analysis of the development of the Fw 190D with Daimler-Benz DB 603 engines, including the Fw 190D-14 and D-15.

“Focke-Wulf Fw 190D – Camouflage and Markings, Part II” is fully documented with extracts from original documents, black and white, and colour photographs, as well as numerous colour schemes and colour profiles. It is completed with a comprehensive loss list of the entire Arbeitsgemeinschaft Weserflug, Mimetall Erfurt and Fieseler Kassel production.

The book is highly recommended for all students of WW II aerial warfare, aficionados of the Fw 190, and modellers.

A comprehensive list of errata and addenda to Part I will be published on these pages shortly. Corrections and additions to Part II will be added as and when such information becomes available.
