Fw 190 - numbers for A-8 and A-9

[fruitbat]

Crump read the production dates for the A8 again.

I completely understand the fact about production dates being different to operational dates, its bloody obvious, don't be so patronising.

The simple fact is more A8's were produced during the A9's production run than A9's, its in black and white for you to read if you weren't so obtuse.

Therefore your claim that the A9 was the most prevalent is clearly not true, as these A8's would be coming into service at the same time, as they were made at the same time. Its not rocket science, i'm not sure what you don't understand, except what you choose not to.
