Menace - Heinkel 219A-7/R2 by Ivan Berryman. [Postcard]

One of the most effective night fighters of WWII, Heinkel's extraordinary 219 'Uhu' (Owl) was designed from the outset as a highly specialized type, originally conceived as a multi-role aircraft, but eventually entering service purely in the nocturnal role. Equipped with the very latest in airborne radar and heavily armed, the 219s became the scourge of the skies against Allied night bombers until it met its match in the form of the night fighter Mosquito. This example is from Stab I/NJG 1, flown by Hauptmann Paul Forster during 1944.
