Made in Poland, 10 sheets A4. Description in Polish language.
TheFocke-Wulf Fw 189Uhu(\"Eagle Owl\") was aGermantwin-engine,twin-boom, three-seat tacticalreconnaissanceandarmy cooperation aircraft. It first flew in 1938 (Fw 189 V1), entered service in 1940, and was produced until mid-1944. This should not be confused with theHeinkel He 219night fighter also namedUhu.
In 1937, theGerman Ministry of Aviationissued a specification for a short-range, three-seatreconnaissance aircraftwith a good all-round view to support the German army in the field, replacing theHenschel Hs 126, which had just entered service. A power of about 850–900hp (630–670kW) was specified. The specification was issued toAradoandFocke-Wulf.Arado\'s design, theAr 198, which was initially the preferred option, was a relatively conventional single-engined high-wing monoplane with a glazed gondola under the fuselage.Focke-Wulf\'s chief designerKurt Tank\'s design, the Focke-Wulf Fw 189 was a twin-boom design, powered by twoArgus As 410engines rather than the expected single engine and a central crew gondola designed with a heavily glazed and framed \"stepless\" cockpit forward section, which used no separate windscreen panels for the pilot (as with many German medium bombers), whileBlohm & Vossproposed as a private venture something even more radical: chief designer Dr.Richard Vogt\'s unique asymmetricBV 141. Orders were placed for three prototypes each of the Arado and Focke-Wulf designs in April 1937.
The Fw 189 was produced in large numbers, at the Focke-Wulf factory inBremen, at theBordeaux-Merignacaircraft factory (now theDassault Mirageplant) in occupied France, then in theAero Vodochodyaircraft factory inPrague,occupied Czechoslovakia. Total production was 864 aircraft of all variants.
Called the \"Flying Eye\" of the German army, the Fw 189 was used extensively on theEastern Frontwith great success. Its Russian nickname was \"Rama\" (Frame), referring to its distinctive tailboom and stabilizer shapes giving it the characteristicquadrangularappearance. Despite its slow speed and fragile looks, the Fw 189\'s maneuverability made it a difficult target for attacking Russianfighters. When attacked, the Fw 189 was often able to out-turn attacking fighters by simply flying in a tight circle into which enemy fighters could not follow.
The main production model was theFw 189Areconnaissance plane, built mostly in two variants, theA-1andA-2. Unless otherwise stated all aircraft were powered by twoArgus As 410engines of 465 PS (459hp, align=\"center\">TERMS & CONDITIONS
