He 219 Specialist(s) Needed

[Rabe Anton]

I have found HW 5 ULTRA messages noting a Heinkel He 219 WNr. 097 [sic]
as being "ready" at Flensburg in mid-February 1945. Former Halter: I./NJG 1.

It is reasonably certain that no He 219 received the WNr. 097; rather, it seems probable that this "097" was either 190 097 or 290 097. Can any reader provide the full Werknummer for this aircraft? Any other info wouldalso be very much appreciated. I have consulted Ferguson, The Heinkel He 219, without success.

Many thanks in advance for guidance or data provided.

It should be 190 097. There was no 290 097 manufactured. The same aircraft was damaged at Flensburg on 13-Apr-45.

Norbert—

Thank you ever so much for providing info about He 219A-0 WNr [190] 097.
Your datum fits nicely with 190 097.

At present, I have data for 290 079, then a gap, then 290 109. It seemed
possible to me that "097" could fit into this gap.

Dear Rabe,

Could you perhaps enlighten me about 290079 and 290109 ? Somehow both 290079 and 290109 don´t match with the known last, and next Werkenummer in the relevant production batches of these He219 A-2´s.

If you prefer to contact me off board, please use info(at)hogenhuis.info

best regards, Marcel Hogenhuis, Venlo

Hi Marcel!

I thought perhaps mention of the He 219 would "bring you out of the woodwork," as we say.

Let's get in touch. Please send your current e-mail and mailing address to
RabeAnton@aol.com. I'll be back to you!

Best,
RA
