Focke-Wulf FW 190 Evaluated by Japan
The Japanese Army Air Force received one Focke-Wulf Fw 190A-5 for evaluation purposes. Japanese pilots did not like the lower manoeuvrability compared to Japanese fighters, despite its faster climb and dive rates.
At the end of the war, the engine was found in an experimental building at Kagamigahara. This had been studied as a model to adapt the Kawasaki Ki-61 Tony from liquid-cooled to radial-engine installation.
