A Heinkel He219 in service with NJG 1 over Holland in 1944.
Despite the fact that less than 300 examples were built, the
He219 'Uhu' (Eagle Owl) proved to be one of the most outstanding
night fighters of WWII. With a maximum speed of over 400 mph
and a heavy armament of up to eight 30mm and 20mm cannons,
it became a major threat to all Allied aircraft in the night
skies over Germany,
in particular to the previously unrivalled Mosquito.
