The He 219 Uhu was a German heavy night fighter, employing a number of the then novel radar and antennae equipment, and was the first operational\u00a0military aircraft\u00a0to be fitted with ejection seats. After protracted development the prototype flew in November 1942. Following the manufacture of the \u2018A-2\u2019 and \u2018A-5\u2019 series, the final production version was the He 219A-7, fitted with improved engines; otherwise the aeroplanes were similar to the \u2018A-5\u2019 model. It was a two-seat, all-metal monoplane powered by two Daimler-Benz DB 603 in-line piston engines. The aircraft were equipped with two or four cannons in the ventral tray, two guns in the wings and another two as a \u201cSchr\u00e4ge Musik\u201d installation behind the cockpit.
\nNearly 300 of all the He 219 models were built and although the type proved to be a capable fighter, it saw only limited service; had they been available in quantity, they might have had a significant effect on the strategic night bombing offensive of the Allied forces carried in the latter half of the war.<\/p>\n
