The one in this video almost sounds like one of the later 190's with the Daimler-Benz inline watercooled engine, though. Maybe? Not sure, sounds more like a Mustang (inline) than a Corsair (radial).

The FW-190 had both inline and radial engines on their airframe. The original versions had twin row radial engines but the last models (Dora's and TA's) had the inline Jumo watercooled engines.
Old friend of mine Heinz Orlowski flew "White 1" a Focke Wulf FW 190 F8 that was shot down in Norway late in the war. Unfortunately he passed away last fall in Berlin.

It was simply one of the best fighters of WW2.
