Description
The Dornier Do 335 ‘Pfeil’ (Arrow) was the fastest piston-engine German Luftwaffe aircraft of WWII, and was also the only military aircraft of the time to feature a ‘push-pull’ engine layout airframe. The B-Series ‘Zerstorer’ (‘Destroyer’) was a heavily armed version intended specifically for the heavy daylight fighter and interceptor roles, with the first two prototypes (M13 and M14) being completed during 1944 and 1945. These prototypes were single-seat high-speed destroyers powered by two DB 603E engines in a push-pull configuration. The Do 335 B-2 version featured impressively heavy armament consisting of three MK 103 30mm cannons (two in the wings and one firing through the forward engine) and two cowl-mounted MG 151 20mm cannons.
