Heinkel He-219 Uhu (7)

Only a few hundred Uhus were built; a relatively small number by contemporary standards. In service it was at first plagued by technical problems with its engines, but the main reason why the aircraft was never a real success was political wrangling in the Luftwaffe, with some people being opposed to specialised night fighters and favouring aircraft built by other manufacturers.
