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.

Some light reading hope you can read German.

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.

Is it really OK to link to pirated books here?

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 Does not change the partial bad/wrong/outdated information contained in this publications though.
