I was 'looking' through some of my 'sources' and found a 'swept-wing' Fw-190.
I looked on the 'web' but, the only thing that I could find did not match my sources!
On the web, its referred to as the 'Fw 190 V19'. However, it shows a 'cranked wing'!
But somewhere, I have (had) a drawing of a Fw 190 with a 'swept-wing'.
It's hard to describe, but here goes..........
Take any 'radial' engine FW190! Now, extend the 'leading edge' of the 'wing-root' forward towards the circular engine cowling. From that point on the fuselage extend a line out to the 'leading edge' of the wing-tip, along a horizontal plane relative to the 'chord of the aircraft. So, you will have a swept-wing form, from the fuselage to the leading-edge wing-tip, whew!
So, does anyone 'out there' have any drawings?
