[PAR] [TLE] Focke-Wulf Fw 190 [SEP] The Focke-Wulf Fw 190 "Würger" (English: Shrike ) is a German single-seat, single-engine fighter aircraft designed by Kurt Tank in the late 1930s and widely used during World War II.  Along with its well-known counterpart, the Messerschmitt Bf 109, the Focke-Wulf 190 Würger became the backbone of the Luftwaffe's "Jagdwaffe" (Fighter Force).  The twin-row BMW 801 radial engine that powered most operational versions enabled the Fw 190 to lift larger loads than the Bf 109, allowing its use as a day fighter, fighter-bomber, ground-attack aircraft and, to a lesser degree, night fighter. [PAR] [TLE] Black Friday (1945) [SEP] On 9 February 1945, a force of Allied Bristol Beaufighter aircraft suffered heavy casualties during an unsuccessful attack on the German destroyer "Z33" and its escorting vessels; the operation was labelled "Black Friday" by the surviving Allied aircrew.  The German ships were sheltering in a strong defensive position in Førde Fjord, Norway, forcing the Allied aircraft to attack through heavy anti-aircraft fire.  The Beaufighters and their escort of Mustang Mk III fighters from the RAF's No. 65 Squadron were also intercepted by twelve German Focke-Wulf Fw 190 fighters of the "Luftwaffe" fighter wing Jagdgeschwader 5.  In the resulting attack, the Allies damaged at least two of the German ships for the loss of seven Beaufighters shot down by flak guns.  Another two Beaufighters and one Mustang were shot down by the Fw 190s.  Four or five German fighters were shot down by the Allied aircraft, including one flown by German Ace Rudi Linz.
