Re: He 219 V23 DV+DI found at Hörsching?
Hello,
190113 was indeed used as a Versuchsmuster (V-number not known yet) for ejection seat trials soon after February 1944 and when these tests were completed, 190113 was used again for another project.
I faintly remember to have read about a plan to use 190073 for a pressurized cockpit, but it was never effected. All 6 documents I have with 190073 refer to a normal use as a nightfighter with the I./NJG 1 in Venlo, my hometown. It went down in April 1944, the first successful ejection of a crew under combat conditions.
Best regards, Marcel
