Dornier DO 335 A-02 Pfeil (Ameisenbär)
Fighter, Germany, 1943

[Technical Data] [Expo/Images] - [ Dornier] [ Fighter 1939-1945]

Description:

The Do 335 had 2 engines, one in front and one aft.
That gave the Pfeil the aerodynamics of a single-
engine fighter, but the performance of two engines.
So the Do 335 was (and is) the fastest industrial-
build piston engine driven aircraft ever.
