There's also this one: http://www.wingleader.co.uk/product-p/he219rp.htm
It has been suggested by other forums, if you read this book about the He 219 you'll throw all other He 219 books overboard.

I think it addresses errors and gaps in other books, but I don't think it tells the whole story on its own.

Thanks for the links. FWIW, Nowarra's book says that with radar aerials and flame dampeners, the top speed of production-series He 219s was 560 km/h at 6,200m, which by my reckoning is 350 mph at 20,150 feet. At 8,200m the speed was 500 km/h, again by my reckoning 313 mph at 26,650 feet.

Yes, at least there's nowhere qan information the uploader has permission to upload a scanned copy. Some of these publications are still sold and are still copyrighted. Does not change the partial bad/wrong/outdated information contained in this publications though.
