The Dornier Do 335 Pfeil, or "Arrow," was developed in the early 1940s by Dr. Claudius Dornier. Its unique design featured a push-pull engine configuration, with one engine in the nose and another at the rear. | The War Rooms

The Do 335 utilised a DB 603 at either end - the largest V-12 engines operated in German frontline aircraft #warbirds #ww2 #ww2history #dornier #luftwaffe | Daniel J Wheatcroft

The Dornier Do 335 used an aspect of Dornier’s experience in flying boats, where engines were often in pairs and podded in the same nacelle. The Pfeil took this concept further and aimed for a heavy fighter with twin engine performance but the drag of a single engine machine. #ww2 #ww2history #pfeil #luftwaffe #dornier | Daniel J Wheatcroft
