Dornier Do 335 PFEIL (ARROW) The Luftwaffe's Ultimate Piston-engine Fighter

A brutal but innovative design, the massive "push-pull" Dornier Do 335 all-weather heavy fighter was one of the many radical ideas which seemingly poured out from German aircraft designers towards the end of the Third Reich. Capable of producing a maximum speed in excess of 750km/h at an altitude of 6,400m, it was the fastest piston-engine aircraft produced by Germany in World War Two.

The authors have been collecting information and superb quality photographic material on this remarkable aircraft for many years. They have unearthed a great deal of little-known and previously unpublished material on the type. In the course of this book, they dispel many myths and produce a definitive guide to an aircraft which has been the subject of frequent erroneousassessments over the years. The Dornier Do 335 has long merited the detailed study which it finally receives in this monograph and in this book Richard Smith and Eddie Creek provide the Luftwaffe historian and the aviation modeller with a definitive guide to a remarkable aircraft.
