The new airplane was superior to British fighters, most distressingly to the Spitfire Mk.V. The German design was soon recognized as the Focke-Wulf Fw 190A. The losses suffered by the RAF over western Europe rose rapidly and the crisis was serious enough that the RAF ceased the majority of offensive operations in November, 1941. The next attempt to resume these types of sorties would not be until March 1942. Loss rates remained unacceptably high and the RAF was forced to stop once again. All this was thanks to the Focke-Wulf Fw 190A. The first response to this new German weapon was the Spitfire Mk.VIII, but the design changes were so complex that initiating timely production was not possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore to read about the KIT \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.scalemates.com\/fr\/kits\/eduard-8284-spitfire-mkviii--937103\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e, thanks to scalemates, a Belgian Scale modeling database\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ProfiPACK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52284629352794,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/3015\/9446\/files\/0D612691-2177-4928-A609-110A2A024E69_1_105_c.jpg?v=1758962586","url":"https:\/\/aviation.brussels\/products\/maquette-a-monter-spitfire-mk-viii-profipack-eduard-n-8284-1-48-like-new-inside-unopened-ok","provider":"aviation.brussels","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
