Evo za pocetak malo fotki.

Meni su najzesci jednomotorci nocni lovci iz tog vremena Jako zanimljiva tema 

Kad vec govorimo o nemackim "Night Fighter" bilo bi red da se spomene i jedno ime: Wolfgang Falck. Za one koji zele malo vise da saznaju o njemu nek posete.............. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfgang_Falck

 Lepe fotke 

Evo par reci o jednom od najboljih nocnih lovaca WW2.

Heinkel He 219 UHU

Kompanija Heinkel je pocetkom avgusta 1940 iznela koncept novog nocnog lovca koji nije u prvom trenutku prihvacen od Luftwaffe.U tom trenutku kad je veci deo Evrope vec bio okupran procenjeno je da ne postoji potreba za nocnim lovcima posto Britanija nije smatrana za ozbiljnog protivnika u toj fazi rata.
Kako se situacija pogorsavala krajem 1941 i pocetkom 42 i ulaskom Amerike u rat projekat Heinkel He 219 UHU ponovo pocinje da dobija na znacaju.
Prvi prototip je poleteo 15 novembra 1942,da bi prva misija bila obavljena 11 juna 1943.Aparatom je upravljo major Werner Streib.On je poleteo sa Holandskog Aereodroma sa zadatkom da presretne Britanske bombardere Lancasters.Misija je bila vise nego uspesna,za nepunih pola sata uspeo je da obori pet bombardera.Usled problema u proizvodnji prvi primerci ulaze u operativnu upotrebu tek u oktobru 1943.Aparat se pokazao kao veoma dobar i za kratko vreme je pokazo svoju vrednost oborivsi veliki broj saveznickih bombardera.Do kraje rata je napravljeno svega 268 aparata sto je i najveca mana ovog sjajnog aviona.Interesantno je da je u odredjeni broj aparata bilo ugradjeno katapult sediste sto je bilo veoma retko za WW2.

Evo dve kolor fotke aviona Heinkel He 219 UHU do duse malo rascupanog al se jasno vidi sema bojenja pa nekome moze i da posluzi..inace ovaj avion se nalazi u jednom avio muzeju u Americi, cini mi se da je Indijana u pitanju

i jos jedna fotka od mene..........

Uz nocne lovce vaznu komponentu odbrane predstavljali su radari i radarska postrojenja za rano otkrivanje i navodjenje.
Evo par slicica.

 a tema ne bi vredela da se ne pomene i najbolji od najboljih

a evo malog klipa gde se vidi kakav je to rat bio :

Sta reci za takvu legendu.
Takav pilot se rodi jednom u sto godina.Najveci podvig ostvario je 01.02.1945 kada je oborio devet bombardera Lancaster.

Schnaufer was born on 16 February 1922, in Calw near Stuttgart. Heinz Schnaufer entered the Luftwaffe as a trainee officer-pilot in November 1939, and completed his flying training in 1941. He later posted to the Heavy Fighter School (Zerstorerschule) at Wunstorf where he met Fritz Rumpelhardt, who became his Funker (radio/radar operater) and flew with him, with a break in 1943, until the end of the war. Schnaufer and Rumpelhardt agreed to volunteer to fly with the newly-formed Nachtjagd, the night-fighter arm of the Luftwaffe. In November 1941, on completion of their flying training, they were posted II./NJG 1 at Stade, near Hamburg, later transferring with the same unit to Saint-Trond, Belgium. Throughout his career Schnaufer only flew the Bf110 operationally, despite subsequently commanding a Geschwader equipped with the JU 88. His career as a night-fighter began in the spring of 1942, scoring his first victory on 2 June 1942, flying with II.NJG 1. His most successful day was on 21 February 1945 when nine Lancasters fell to the 20mm and 30mm shells of his Messerschmitt Bf110G-4d/R3 night fighter. His gunner Wilhelm Gänsler and radio/radar operator Fritz Rumpelhardt shared in most of his kills and were both awarded the Ritterkreuz (Knights Cross). Known to the British as the “Night Ghost of Saint-Trond”, Schnaufer ended the war in command of NJG 4 with 121 victories and 164 combat missions. He was taken prisoner by the British in May 1945 at Eggebek in Schleswig-Holstein, but was released later that year and returned to Calw, where he took over the reins of the family wine business, his father having died during the war. After surviving WWII, Major Heinz-Wolfgang Schnaufer was killed in automobile accident while on a business trip to France in 1950.

Covek je preziveo rat - gledao sam ga u nekoj od emisija ( da li o Geringu ili o luftwafe-u, ne mogu da se setim) na history chanell-u. Ne znam da li je jos ziv. A imam ga i u nekim knjigama - bio je faca.
