Arguably the best piston engined night fighter ever
great job
No arguably about it, one of the pre-production He 219's, flown by a man named Werner Streib I believe, destroyed five lancasters in one night.
Actually, arguably is exactly the right word. It was a good aircraft and it had a number of advanced features, however they made too few of them and they had to deal with an entirely different target set than their Allied counterparts to say whether one or the other was better.
Beautiful work so far on that Heinkel, Thiel.
Thanks. Hopefully I'll be able to see a restored one soon at the local museum.
Anyway, more progress.
I'm dithering about doing the livery because I'm having a hard time finding photos that shows it and the ones I do have are all in Black and White.
