Dornier's Golden Arrow by Ivan Berryman. (GS)

Arriving too late to take any meaningful part in the war, Dornier's extraordinary Do.335 Pfeil (Arrow) might have made a significant contribution to the war in the air, had it gone into mass production. Drawing on the company's considerable experience with pull-push engine arrangements, the Do.335 represented a radical change in fighter design, resulting in an aircraft with a top speed of 763 Km/h at 6500m. Here the seventh of ten Do.335A-Os gets airborne from Oberpfaffenhofen en route for evaluation by the Erprobungskommando 335 in September 1944.
