I went ahead and bought the book, and it arrived today.  Typical Czech books of this variety: soft cover, half Czech, half English text, lots of line drawings, scale drawlings, and not-often seen photos, and some color plates in the center.  I only glanced through it so far, and it seems very detailed in the developments, operation history and different variants and prototypes. FW 189-E/F/G?  Who knew!  But there's only one mention of the nightfighter version and no more details than other books.Sigh [sigh]

And there is a mention of the abovementioned FW-189 restoration project, with a fascimile of a page of the log book from the plane.  All in all a valuable source of information.

Any link to the build?  I thought the only surviving Fw189 was destroyed in a hail storm.

Hi all,

I am looking for reference materials on FW-189 night fighter, other than the one photo commonly seen with the crews.  The only other book I can find other than the Squadron In Action is the MBI book.  I'd like to get one but I want to be sure that it has more to offer on this subject.

Thanks.
