Regarding the D-9 in real life:
"Kurt Tank had designed this model to operate as a high altitude fighter but the cabin design was unable to provide adequate pressurization. The aircraft was used to replace The FW 190A at lower altitudes and coincidentally was sometimes humorously referred to as “Downstairs Dora” or “Maid”."
A great plane that while achieving parity with allied fighters suffered heavy losses ( no experienced pilots left ). None the less it is still my favorite german fighter looks wise.
