Heinkel He 219 Uhu Night Fighter Family
The Heinkel He 219 Uhu was a German twin-engine night-fighter family designed around airborne interception radar and dedicated nocturnal operations. Its pressurized crew layout, heavy sensors, and early ejection-seat installation made it an important, if numerically limited, step in the specialization of radar-equipped night fighters during the Second World War.
