| Fw-190D | Fw 190 D (nicknamed Dora; or Long-Nose Dora ("Langnasen-Dora") was intended as the high-altitude performance version of the A-series. | ||
| Fw-190D-0 | First D-0 prototype was completed in October 1942 with a supercharged Junkers Jumo 213 including a pressurized cockpit and other features making them more suitable for high-altitude work | ||
| Fw-190D-1 | Initial production | ||
| Fw-190D-2 | Initial production | ||
| Fw-190D-9 | D-9 series was rarely used against heavy-bomber raids, as the circumstances of the war in late 1944 meant that fighter-versus-fighter combat and ground attack missions took priority. This model was the basis for the follow-on Focke-Wulf Ta 152 aircraft. | ||
| Fw-190D-11 | Fitted with the up-rated Jumo 213F series engine similar to the Jumo 213E used in the Ta-152 H series but minus the intercooler. Two 30 mm (1.18 in) MK 108 cannons were installed in the outer wings to complement the 20 mm MG 151s in the inboard positions. | ||
| Fw-190D-12 | Similar to the D-11,
but featured the 30 mm (1.18 in) MK 108 cannon in a Motorkanone
installation firing through the propeller hub. |
