A short list of engine variants:

Fw 187 V1, V2 and V3 : Jumo 210D

Fw 187 V4 and A-0 series : Jumo 210G

Fw 187 V5, V7, 3x B-0 series and perhaps a B-1 : DB 601E (& perhaps H)

Fw 187 C-0 series/ high-altitude fighter/ kampfzerstorer/ night-fighter
(projected aircraft only, no prototypes or production) : DB 605A

Fw 187 Kampfzerstorer project also considered with BMW 801 radials (projected aircraft only, drawing shows 1000-kg bomb on centreline but no ventral window).

This is a quick summary of notes from the Schiffer book: “Fw 187 – An Illustrated History” by Hermann & Petrick.

Hi
Many thanks , looks like I will have to add a new book to my library, that BMW version sounds nice.
Cheers

any comments ?

Hi,
Just got hold of an old flugzueg article , my german is ropey, but it seems to imply , at the end the engines were DB605, then DB628 , then BMW 801, ( could be my poor translation), or is this the proposal for the B/C versions ?
Thanks to all who have so far replied to my thread,
All comments much appreciated.
Cheers

windows

Hi,
I personally prefer the bombing theory,
Not sure about the landing theory, can’t see the advantage during landing , the view it seems to give the pilot from the thread photo (an ‘after the event’) to have missed the runway ..
& the FW doesn’t look any worse to land than the DH 88 comet, but you never know .

film

Hi
If it is what I think it is …….
It is brilliant, it is in colour , mainly of the squadrons when they were in the west country, [ Harrowbeer , Exeter etc].
Saw it in about 1998, on a vhs tape copy,
Never been able to find & buy a real copy yet.
cheers

Hi
