The Focke-Wulf Ta 152 was a World War II Luftwaffe high-altitude interceptor fighter aircraft. The Ta 152 was a development of the Focke-Wulf Fw 190 aircraft, but the prefix was changed from Fw to Ta to recognize the contributions of Kurt Tank who headed the design team. It was made in two versions - the Ta 152 H Hoehenjaeger, and the Ta 152 C designed for slightly lower altitude operations using a different engine and smaller wing. The first Ta 152 entered service with the Luftwaffe in October 1944, and only 67 production aircraft were delivered. This was too late in the war to allow the Ta 152 to have a significant impact on the war effort.
