France, Paris, suburbs, an ordinary airport.
The whole north of France is under German control, and this military airport is more closely guarded.
During the day, ordinary fw190 fighters take off from the airport to protect the safety over Paris. It seems nothing different. However, at night, the closed hangar here opens and quite strange fighters are launched from the gate of the hangar.
This is a twin engine fighter. It's strange to hear the name.
Because excellent fighters are single engine and twin engine fighters, their maneuverability is much worse than that of single engine fighters. Just because the engine is on the wing, the overload of the aircraft is limited.
However, one of the advantages of double engines over single engines is that they have sufficient power reserves and large carrying capacity, which is also the reason for the layout of double engines or even four engines used by bombers.
But what kind of payload do you want for a fighter?
If it's a daytime fighter, it certainly doesn't need to be as light as possible, but it's not a night fighter.
Night fighters are never born to fight with enemy fighters. Their purpose is to intercept each other's bombers! There are many restrictions on fighting at night. The first is how to find the target.
In this era, night fighters mainly rely on pilots' keen eyesight to observe in the clear night sky, and more care, seriousness and patience.
Even so, it depends more on luck to find enemy bombers.
Only relying on luck, of course not, more depends on strength, such as now!
The night fighter, with two db603 engines arranged on both sides of the fuselage, provides 1900 horsepower to drive the night fighter, which is more than enough.
At the same time, the space of the nose is empty.
This fighter plane has strange features everywhere. For example, the cockpit is almost on the nose. A huge bubble cockpit has excellent omni-directional vision. At the same time, in front of the nose, there are some fork like radar antennas.
Yes, if you want to find a target at night, you must rely on radar! The electronic equipment in this era is still quite primitive, which will inevitably lead to the huge volume and soaring weight, which is also the inevitable result of the use of double engines.
In order to adapt to the nose, the aircraft uses the first three-point landing gear.
The shape is very special. However, because it has been test flying at the Libyan base, few people have noticed the existence of this aircraft, and it only flies at night!
And tonight, it's not ordinary flight training, but fighting!
Captain Werner striber, the founder of the German night fighter force, is also the indicator of this he219 night fighter.
In history, Germany originally refitted night fighters. For example, on the basis of the double engine junker-88, it was refitted into night fighters. After all, it was only an emergency. Now, after Chirac put forward the indicators, this fighter specially built for night operations was soon promoted by Henschel company.
At the same time, it also has a loud nickname, owl.
Now Werner is taking his radar operator corporal Fisher across the lawn next to the runway.
This kind of night fighter has only recently entered the low-speed production stage. The equipment quantity of the whole German air force is no more than 30, while only 10 are deployed in the base here.
"The superior asked our fighter squadron at night to be vigilant, and there will be an enemy situation at any time." Captain Werner said, "we are no longer training. We are finally going to fight."
Hearing his words, Fisher was stunned: "do the British dare to bomb us?"
Now, the British are shivering on the British island. In this case, do the British dare to bomb?
"Yes, that Churchill is a madman. Under his leadership, the whole Britain is crazy." Werner said that at this time, in his eyes, the British are crazy not to be caught. Which country in Europe can block the pace of German expansion?
As soon as I got to my fighter, the air defense alarm sounded throughout the base.
"Come on, get up!" Cried Werner.
This fighter has a special configuration and a tall landing gear. An ordinary fighter can jump up without a gangway. However, this fighter must use a gangway several meters high to reach the cockpit.
The two quickly climbed in, turned on their headphones, and there came an order: "I found that the British bomber force is taking off from the other side of the Strait and is expected to arrive in 30 minutes."
The German radar force has set up a warning net on the coastline. Due to the close distance, the British bomber force was found here shortly after taking off.
The early warning time is quite sufficient.
"Received on 01, the first brigade of night fighters, all take off!" Werner shouted on the radio.
Although there is still half an hour to arrive, it is certainly not possible for the other party to intercept it when it flies near Paris!
The Mercedes Benz engines on both sides are started in turn, and the three blade propeller rotates to push the fighter to slide on the runway. The landing gear at the first three points is very high, which makes the fighter float. With the acceleration of speed, the runway light retreats rapidly towards the back.
Werner skillfully pulled the lever, and the high landing gear in front of him lifted up. Then he continued to slide forward for two seconds, and the landing gear behind him followed.
The nearly 12 ton airframe left the ground in this way. The take-off process was almost as bad as that of a bomber.
Yes, this is the order of weight, more than many light bombers! You know, the fighters of this era are almost just a few tons.
The he219 night fighter is huge. At the same time, it also has ultra-high endurance. For example, it can reach 2300 kilometers at a cruising speed of 484 kilometers per hour, that is, patrol in the sky for five hours!
So, after discovering that the British took off, they began to take off!
The night sky was quiet. One night fighter after another flew into the sky and flew along the route west of Paris.
At this time, Werner is relatively relaxed. Their flight is guided by the ground command all the way. It is far from enough to rely on their own airborne radar alone.
In later generations, airborne radar often has a detection range of hundreds of kilometers, or even hundreds of kilometers, which is enough to act as an early warning aircraft, but now their airborne radar has an effective range of only 4000 meters.
At this time, while he was flying according to the ground guidance, Fisher also began to play with the radar. First, it was necessary to warm up each system, which was a detailed work.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
