The Heinkel He 219 – A Research Paper

Description

Australian historian Ron Ferguson has focused his attention on the He219 for many years. The aim of this book is to dispel the many myths that surround one of the Luftwaffe’s most advanced night fighters.
As its subtitle ‘A Research Paper’ suggests, this volume is a scholarly work that probes some lesser-known aspects in great detail and is not an entry-level general history of the He219. It lists and corrects the many errors found in earlier books as well as providing new and definitive information.

The Numbers – Production and Werknummern
The Ejection Seat Versuchs Machines
The Jets

Engine Air Intakes (Shape)
