From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Focke-Wulf Ta 153 (GH+KV) was a prototype German fighter aircraft built during World War II. It was a development of the Focke-Wulf Ta 152 with long-span, high-aspect ratio wings. The prototype never flew because the German factory it was being built in was overrun.
