fw-190 A (1-8) on the Eastern Front

[simplyjames]

Hey guys, I've been looking into the fw190a series and was wondering if there is any information on what planes this fought against on the eastern front. 

Do you guys have any references on this? I find this time period interesting because it seems less talked about. On the eastern front most documentaries I see go straight from Battle of Britain to the p-51's escorting b-17's.  What about the time period in between? Or did the fw190 mostly fight in the east and Mediterranean at this time?

It fought Spitfires, Typhoons, Blenheims and other 1942 RAF aircraft in that period, if being simplistic

Ahh I see, I was under the impression it fought p47's and P51B/C's and P38's. I suppose that was after the US got into the war, but before the P51D came about.

It did, looking at some of their scores there's a few P-47's/38's/B-17's in '42.

Silky is right, in fact.
