The Nazi's Butcher Bird That Gave The Allies Nightmares
The Focke-Wulf 190 is remembered today as one of the fiercest and most terrifying fighters. Along with the Messerschmitt Bf 109, this aircraft turned the tide of WWII and became the backbone of the Luftwaffe.

It's 1945, and World War II rages across land, sea, and sky. In the Pacific theatre, air superiority has become a crucial factor, with each dogfight tipping the scales of battle in just mere seconds. The U.S. Navy urgently needed a new aircraft; something fast, agile, and resilient enough to dominate the skies against Japanese forces. And they knew who exactly to turn to... #f8f #bearcat #grumm...

When it comes to legendary aircraft, few have left a lasting mark like the F-4U Corsair. From the tropical regions of the Pacific to the cold skies of Korea, the Corsair proved its mettle in some of the fiercest air battles of the 20th century.
The Australian butcher bird got its name because it hangs its prey up like a butcher hangs meat. I feed them grated cheese.
Informative and well narrated. Thank you.
You pronounce the e at the end of Luftwaffe as a short e as in "end"
The „Würger“ is a bird first described in 1758. It is a type of starling that due to its call is also known as a Shrike in English. The biological genus type is the „Lanius“ which is Latin for butcher. This classification was chosen because of the bird‘s largely carnivorous diet. With regard to the plane - it is only known as the Butcher Bird in the Anglosphere, I assume because it sounds brutal and therefore conforms to Nazi stereotypes. Even in German aviation literature the name „Würger“ is rarely mentioned. It is generally referred to as the FW-190, analogous to identifying the Me-109, shorthand really.
Würger (german): Strangler (engl.) I don't know why it was called so??
The Würger is a species of bird which is related to the sparrow (Sperling).
The F82 was powered by two Allison V-1710 engines.

I like the first generation. I flew on one of them once.
The title 😂😂
The only clown is the author
Very enjoyable! I have an appreciation of this rugged beast and you've explained it well.
Great episode and very informative! I knew of this aircraft but I had always believed that only a few prototypes had been built. Clearly, I was mistaken. Being credited with the US's last aerial victory by a piston-powered aircraft is an honor to the aircraft all to itself. My previous assumption of it was the second cockpit was occupied by a radar operator. The fact that it had full dual flight controls was obviously as great advantage as you point out. Given all that wing real estate I am surprised it only carried 6 .50 caliber machine guns in the center section. I would have thought there would be accommodation for something heavier like Hispano 20mm cannons, etc. However, that may have made gunnery more precise as the pilot would not have to consider the convergence zone of his guns, much like the P-38 with its nose-mounted guns. Thank you for this very informative and enjoyable expose of this iconic machine.
Boeing is a trash company
Wow, those are very smart clowns and monkeys, impressive
Planes built 8764 Active 7848 -> 90% Boeing 737 NG / MAX Only. the 100- 200 - 300 - 400 - 500 not included. Therefore, the number of clowns buying the MAX, out numbers the number of clowns building it. Gets better, the new elected Presiden and staff members, come from the Trump Brothers Circus 🤹♂ 🤹♂ I refuse to become one 😋 have to give you credit. For people to see and leave comments on your channel, you use clown material to get the numbers for UA-cam. Geniuses, must hand it to you 👍
6000 sold says the Max is a great airplane.
this video title is hilarious.😂
It was nice at least to see so many video clips and shots of the restored XP-82. She was the second prototype out of the North American Aviation Factory. It was a 13 year project to bring her back to life, the last two of which I had the privilege of participating in. At present she resides at the Valiant Air Command Warbirds Museum in Titusville, Florida and is kept at airworthy status. Bill Parks - Tom Reilly XP-82 Restoration Team Member
What is the point of the annoying music? Did you actually think it was a good idea?
it was first called the P-82, --** P is FOR PURSUIT --**^^** THEN IT WAS REBRANDED AS THE F-82, the F is for FIGHTER.
Says who when did it ever fight other than being a weird prototype .
The atom bomb ended the war so the P-82 didn't see combat until the Korean War. The first two or three enemy aircraft shot down by American pilots in Korea were shot down by P-82s. It also served in ground attack roles. Bill Parks- Tom Reilly XP-82 Restoration Team
So why didn't they up grade it to a jet engine
Not available with the needed range. Jet engine technology was still in its early development at the time.
Question is if America had built these plane s at the start of the war would the conflict went on as long as it did
That's what you call a wingman. No matter what you do, you just can't shake him.
DEAR GOD IN HEAVEN!!! The Twin Mustang was NEVER EVER EVER a "P/F-82"!!!!!!!!!!!!! When it was conceived, first flown, and entered into active service, it was the "P-82," and when the USAF became a stand-alone separate service (....gee, can you even tell me WHEN that was....or HOW it was done?), it, along with ALL of its contemporaries, went from "P" for "pursuit" to "F" for "fighter"........"P/F-82" sounds as ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS as "P/F-51," "P/F-47," "P/F-80," or ANY OTHER CONTEMPORARY FIGHTER that was in service at the time of the transition. The ONLY airplane where this does NOT sound ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS is with the F/A-18 Hornet, which is its ACTUAL USN designation. STOP IT!! STOP IT!!! STOP IT!!!!!!!! ALSO, it was called a "pilots' dream" because it had ZERO TORQUE (even ALMOST zero torque when running single-engine, because of the arrangement of the counter-rotating props, AND the Aeroproducts props used a BLAST OF COMPRESSED NITROGEN to INSTANTANEOUSLY feather the propellers, which pilots LOVED....no long nail-biting moments waiting for a prop to feather while trying to maneuver with a dead engine) AND it had 17-to-1 BOOSTED AILERONS....THAT'S some damn POWER STEERING!!! THESE THINGS are why they loved it....the other things YOU mention were SECONDARY at best. Did you write your script from a COMIC BOOK somewhere???? ....Wikipedia???? However, VERY nice pictures and newsreel footage....I do have to give you THAT nod for not including stand-in footage of maybe a P-61, B-25 or F-100 or something, like so many UA-cam aviation content creators DO. RESEARCH "Tailwinds," RESEARCH, instead of CLICK-BAIT!!!! There are A LOT of REALLY GREAT aviation BOOKS out there (......you remember BOOKS don't you?.....), even in your LOCAL PUBLIC or UNIVERSITY LIBRARY, so you don't even have to BUY THEM.....just saying (...and UNIVERSITY libraries typically have some REALLY cute INTELLIGENT girls running around in them too...BONUS!) ....UGH!.....
It can be difficult being the most educated on a given subject sometimes. Another person in here was rattling their tail about background music during the narration. I agree if only to bring peace to his rattling frazzled state of mind, so was going to say, "save the sound of music for a Julie Andrews tribute." The one this channel will never upload for any reason. The war machine has fueled technological advancement, the military industrial complex.....war war war, death death death, and not for reasons given for public consumption. As much as I appreciate the amazing machinery, the war machine as a whole is beyond disgusting. Selective service military draft, what a banger there don't you know. "All the world is a stage." Exactly. The "European theatre", the "theatre in the south Pacific" during WW2, which if course was preceded by "the war to end all wars." "Take one step back and broaden your horizon" says a Chinese proverb. They should think about reading and applying their own wisdom, but it's good advice nonetheless. Why are we here. How did we get here. Who is at the head of the line, really. Why is everything we've been taught and told a lie? Because it is. Disagree all you want. I'm entitled to my wrong opinion like the next person; the owner of this channel is entitled to musical serenade as accompaniment to his narration. An exchange of nuclear tipped icbm's isn't necessary, not yet. "If voting made a difference they wouldn't let us do it" Mark Twain and others as well. "The truth never changes, it always stays the same" to which I add, "....the same, hidden." Til the next time, so long
? Get some rest.
So they couldn't get P38 Lightnings?
The P-38 would not have fulfilled the requirements: 30mph faster than the mustang, greater range and the need for two pilots to alleviate the fatigue one pilot would face on such long duration missions from the Mariannas to Japan and back. Bill Parks - Tom Reilly XP-82 Restoration Team
@@182436hike Thanks
I’m surprised so little has been presented about this unique aircraft. I never knew this bird existed in operational roles.
it was effective at end of Pacific War and not touted for its good work in Korean War..
@@thomasr.bartonjd7815 It was still in development at the end of WWII and never made it into action until Korea. Bill Parks - Tom Reilly XP-82 Restoration Team.
I believe there are a whole lot of facts in this video that are incorrect. The Army Air Force needed a plane to help support the invasion of Japan. The F-82 was originally designed as a long-range escort fighter for the Boeing B-29 Superfortress in World War II
I agree. They keep saying "Navy". No! It was the Army Air Corps. There are many other inaccuracies. Bill Parks - Tom Reilly XP-82 Restoration Team.
Other than the extra pilot which was a good idea for easing the load, too much was made of the range and armament. The P47N had range just as long albeit with tanks. All versions had six fifties with some had eight. While faster than the P47N by about 25mph, the turning radius mandated by all that wing area of the P/F 82 would have made it a sitting duck in a turning fight with late model enemy fighters. Also I can’t imagine bringing one of those aboard a carrier.
There is a lot of information about Edgar Schmued in Wikipedia and other sources in the internet.
Another juunk channel. Get the details correct AI...
...the P-61 Black Widow was also a pretty cool plane...
Somehow, North American Aviation hammered together 2 pudgy P-51 Mustangs into something insanely awesome, and this is why the engineering of this era will always fascinate me.
This was and still is a beautiful prop aircraft. It could haul ass, go forever, and kick some serious ass with the machine guns from the of the two cockpits.
Packard Merlin V-1650 engines were only used in the first two prototypes. Production P-82 aircraft had Allison V-1710 engines with an auxiliary supercharger for high altitude performance.
Actually, not true. The first 20 production P-82s also had Merlins. The war ended and Rolls Royce rescinded Packard's license to build Merlins. Rolls then demanded a huge per engine licensing charge for each new Merlin engine built by Packard. At that point the Air Force elected to go with the Allison engine. Bill Parks, Tom Reilly XP-82 Restoration Team
@@182436hike Jut guessing that you have better info than I have. Thanks.
Much too long
Pathetic video full of errors.
Great video !!!
XP-82 P-82… F-82… Never PF-82!
The radar of the P-61 was the SCR-720. Not as was stated the AN/APS-6. That is a mistake.
Air & Space magazine had a great article about someone who has restored one and is flying it. Also, they didn't just use two P-51's. The dimensions are mostly different from what the P-51's were.
AI garbage.

Edger started out designing the Twin Cadillac but it took up both sides of the road.😉
How did they deal with engine torque having two engines? Did one counter rotate? On such a small aircraft I'm pretty sure it would have been noticeable.
of course one counter rotated. this happens on almost all two engine aircraft, even the compressor blades inside of a jet engine counter rotates.
The same way all twin engine planes work
@@TinyBearTim Well, the Mosquito and a number of others did not have counter rotating props but it certainly is an advantage.
PLEASE! Stop playing music during narration. That drives me bonkers.
This plane made little sense, because they got rid of all the twin engine P-38's... in favor of the cheaper and easier to maintain single engine Mustang. To make a twin engine Mustang... you're really just right back at a P-38... that you had already had, that was designed from the start to be twin engined with all that concentrated fire power in the nose unobstructed.
It's all about the range. P-82's firepower is unobstructed, too.
@@steve-ey3rx I think most pilots would like to be right behind the guns that will push you back along the centerline. You've got that long line of dropping metal streaming out from you... like AT&T, in a P-38 you can really reach out and touch someone. ua-cam.com/video/V1fBnovQ4YE/v-deo.html
...was just thinking that it wouldn't be as good if the heater was broken but better if one needs to use the toilet...
Clearly you didn't watch this video before typing your shortsighted opinion. Range, added firepower, the ability for one pilot to rest in tandem with the other are amongst the distinct advantages over the P38. This plane did not revert backward to the P38. Instead, it was a huge leap forward.
@@c2jones Yes, that's why thousands were made, and like maybe a dozen P-38's. Oh wait, no, it was the other way around. Choppergirl just pwned you.
My favorite WWII plane. Beautiful) ines.
One of mine too. I actually had my picture taken with Pappy Boyington, when I was a baby.
