Inside the cockpit of the Focke-Wulf Fw 190F-8/R1 at the Steven F Udvar-Hazy
Center in Virginia, US. Originally built as a Fw 190A-7, the aircraft was rebuilt as
a ‘Friedrich’ in 1944 and served with SG 2. After the war, it was transported to
Freeman Field, Indiana, and then to the Smithsonian in 1949. It was fully restored
over a three-year period from 1980 to 1983.
