Ta-152 - The 'Ultimate' German Prop Fighter in Combat (Part 1)

The last variant of the successful Focke-Wulf Fw-190 received a different designation - Ta-152, after Kurt Tank, its chief designer. Considered by some to be the best piston-engine fighter of WW2, it faced many challenges and ultimately, too few were produced to make a significant impact. But what did it really achieve in actual combat? See in this first video of the series.
