The legendary Owl was an incredibly successful aircraft developed to counter the RAFs deadly night raids. On a trial mission in mid 1943, the He-219 destroyed 5 RAF bombers in one sortie and within the next six raised that devastating total to twenty. Although it had a distinguished career, towards the end of the war the He-219 was withdrawn from German production lines to concentrate on aircraft that could be built more quickly. But the Owl was so popular with her crews that 6 more were assembled from component parts and their existence withheld from the government air authorities.
