Best books are by Remp and by Dressel & Griehl. Also, try to register at the Luftwaffe Experten Message Board and track down some of their threads on the 219. One in particular is basically an encyclopedia of all the latest info.

Discount anything you read about 6 Mosquitos in 10 days after Streib's initial sortie - didn't happen.

Short answer is no and no. It was used in squadron strenght, however it was a dedicated night-fighter, and we don't have night. Also, take the same engines as are on the Me 410, put them on a larger, heavier aircraft, then put flame dampers on the exhausts and festoon the nose with aerials. Not a winning combination.

Sadly, about 345,000,000 of them repeat the same inaccurate BS.

I have read that it couldn't break 400mph in service with all of its gear.  It never approached Heinkel's 420mph claim.

That said, it is a very nice looking airplane.

The 400mph+ speed speed was achieved with a striped a/c. iirc no exhaust shrouding, no antenna, some guns absent.

Could you please describe a non-verticle dive ? Does it involve a hot-water heater ?

Once or twice, just to see how it all hangs together and then back to the Storch I'd go.

400+ mph was calculated speed for a fully equipped He 219 with Jumo 222 engines, a combination never flown. The fastest He 219 may have been one of the 5 D-1 equipped with Jumo 213E, provided the high-alt stage of the engine didn't broke down.
