After entering Fw190 into service in 1941, a Luftwaffe gained the distinct advantage over Allied hardware aviation. However, British by entering soon Spitfires MkIX, the advantage clearly reduced. Even more difficult the situation has become for defence the German sky. Introduction to night operations Lancaster and Halifax, which operate on the high altitude, caused more and more problems for Luftwaffe aircraft's: Messerschmitt Bf110 and Junkers Ju88. The need for a high-altitude fighter became clear and necessary. Unfortunately, just at the beginning of 1944, Junkers began serial production of Jumo 213 E, a modified version of the Jumo 213 A. This engine had a two-stage, three-speed compressor and was in series production from middle of 1944 in contrast to DB603 Series E and L (which had similar performance characteristics) which went into series production only at the beginning of 1945. another engine to be attempts (only a few) was the BMW 801TJ engine with a turbocharger. Jumo Ju213 E was a milestone for the creation of high altitude interceptor under the Luftwaffe service.Only these engines could realistically meet the challenges of altitude aircraft. Finally, in the history of Ta152 we can find three paths that team engineers of
Focke-Wulf Flugzeugbau AG came to the place in which was born Ta152. Three independent stages full of experiences and faults, successes and failures.
