The Ta 152 was
a high-altitude fighter-interceptor developed from the Focke-Wulf Fw 190 aircraft, but the prefix was changed from "Fw"
to "Ta" to recognize the contributions of Kurt Tank who headed
the design team.
The *Ta 152 C conceived as a medium altitude fighter used the DB 603 E
engine, a non pressurized cockpit and shorter wing span.
The first Ta
152H entered service with the Luftwaffe in January 1945. Total
production - including prototypes and pre-production aircraft
- is estimated in one source at about 220. But only some 43
production aircraft were delivered until the end of the war.
This was too late to allow the Ta 152 to have a significant
impact on the war effort.
