ザ ハインケル He 219 ウーフ (「イーグルフクロウ」)は、第二次世界大戦の後期にドイツ空軍に従軍した夜間戦闘機でした。比較的洗練されたデザインであるHe 219は、リヒテンシュタインSN-2高度VHFバンド迎撃レーダーを含む様々な革新を持ち、Ju 88GとBf 110G夜間戦闘機にも使用されました。また、射出座席と三輪車着陸装置を備えた最初の運用ドイツ第二次世界大戦時代の航空機を装備した最初の運用軍用機でした。ウーフが量的に利用可能であった場合、それはイギリス空軍の戦略的夜間爆撃攻撃に大きな影響を与えた可能性があります。しかし、戦争の終わりまでにすべてのモデルのうち294台しか建設されず、これらは限られたサービスしか見なかった。エルンスト・ヴィルヘルム・モドローは、He 219の主要な夜間戦闘機エースでした。モドローは、タイプの34夜の空気の勝利から33でクレジットされました。

The Scourge of the Night Bombers
ザ ハインケル He 219 ウーフ was arguably the finest night fighter produced during World War II. It was a sophisticated, purpose-built hunter designed to intercept the RAF’s heavy bomber streams. On its very first combat mission in June 1943, the prototype shot down five Lancaster bombers in a single night. Despite its incredible performance and the desperate need for such a defender, the “Uhu” suffered from political infighting within the Luftwaffe leadership, which severely limited its production numbers.

A Masterclass in High-Tech Design
- The First Ejection Seats: The He 219 was the first operational aircraft in the world to be equipped with compressed-air ejection seats for both crew members, ensuring they could escape the high-speed aircraft in an emergency.
- Tricycle Landing Gear: Rare for German designs of the time, the Uhu featured a nose-wheel configuration. This gave the pilot excellent visibility while taxiing and made landings much safer at the high speeds required by its heavy wing loading.
- “Schräge Musik” (Slanted Music): The He 219 frequently carried two 30mm MK 108 cannons mounted behind the cockpit, firing upward at a 65-degree angle. This allowed the pilot to fly underneath a bomber—where its gunners couldn’t see him—and fire directly into the fuel tanks.
- Advanced Radar Array: The nose was dominated by the “antlers” of the Lichtenstein radar. The FAW.7 version featured the SN-2 array, which was resistant to the “Window” (chaff) dropped by British bombers to confuse German sensors.
Operational Excellence & Rarity
- The Mosquito Hunter: The He 219 was one of the few German aircraft fast enough and agile enough at high altitude to consistently intercept and shoot down the elusive de Havilland Mosquito.
- Modular Armament: The “Waffenträger” (Weapon Carrier) tray beneath the fuselage allowed armorers to quickly swap out cannon configurations, letting the aircraft be tailored for different mission types in minutes.
- The “Uhu” Legacy: Only about 294 were built before the end of the war. After the conflict, both the US and UK captured surviving airframes for intense study, as its cockpit ergonomics and sensor integration were years ahead of their time.
- The Sole Survivor: Today, only one He 219 exists. It was painstakingly restored and is now on display at the **Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center** in the United States.
