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!

How could I have done this podcast for three years and not done even ONE Polish aircraft??? It's a pretty interesting story that includes a whole lot of "what might have been"...
