| Additional information |
The Focke-Wulf Fw 190 entered Luftwaffe service in 1941 and immediately outclassed the Spitfire Mk V it encountered over the Channel, prompting an emergency RAF development program that produced the Mk IX. Kurt Tank's design was unusual for a single-seat fighter in its use of a radial engine — the BMW 801 — at a time when inline liquid-cooled engines dominated European fighter development. The "diesel" designation in this Isle of Man series distinguishes the copper-nickel circulation strike from the precious metal variants issued concurrently under the same KM type umbrella.
