It was known as the "Massive" re-armament rally

The FW-190 D9 was a variation of the FW-190A. It was slightly faster than the original FW-190, and was easily recognized for it's long nose and tail sections.
The Focke Wulf FW-190 was far superior - it was faster, had more potent guns, and a great roll rate. However, the ME-109 was produced in larger numbers, and had sufficient guns to earn more kills than the FW-190 during WW2.

Yes. It bore slightly less armament than it's forefather, the FW-190A did, but was signifigantly faster. However, far fewer D9's were produced than the original FW-190A, and they came too late (introduced in 1944) to change the course of the war in any way.
It's fastest variation - the FW-190 D9 - could travel at speeds of up to 600 KM/h (Note that the speed may vary depending on how much weight the plane was carrying).

The D9 (Dorra 9) is a variation of the 190. The best version and made in the largest numbers for that reason.
Kurt Tank, who worked for as an aeronautical engineer and test pilot for Focke-Wulf, created the Focke-Wulf FW 190 to counter the Spitfire threat.
The original Focke-Wulf FW 190 had 6 guns - 4 20mm cannons and 2 13mm cannons.
The Hawker Fury and later the Hawker Sea Fury, powered by the 2,480hp Bristol Centaurus engine. The Hawker design team studied the Fw-190 of Oberleutenant Arnim Faber who landed at an RAF airfield on July 23, 1942. Both had a radial engine and exhausts of similar design.
