What do you get when you put four 20mm cannon, two 30 mm Schräge Musik cannon, stacks of radars, a lovely grauviolett (gray-violette) camoflage scheme and package it in a deadly beautiful airframe? It's the He 219 Uhu- a lethal Luftwaffe night fighter of WW2 that could knock down MULTIPLE RAF bombers in a single mission! Why didn't it make a bigger impact on the nightly air war over Germany? It's a tragic tale of rivals and squabbles and disagreements and petty feuds and grudges.
(This is an extended audio version of the video on the WOWB Channel- includes extra squabbles and grudges!)

It was known as the Vindicator, Chesapeake, Cheesecake, Wind-Indicator and Vibrator! You'd think with so many nicknames this US Navy Dive-Bomber that starred in a movie, fought at Midway and was the flying steed of a Medal of Honor winner would be better remembered! Learn all about her here!

It's the FIRST in our "Tanner's Just Jetz" Series!
Tanner continues the Grumman Cat story, but this time with turbojet power! The Panther is a facinating story of post-WW2, early fighter jet technology, written by a young woman who flies F-35 Lightning II jets for a living. Enjoy!
