Historical Information

The Dornier Do335A Pfeil was a German twin-engine fighter-bomber aircraft used by the Luftwaffe during the final years of World War II (1944–1945). Designed by Claudius Dornier, it was one of the fastest piston-engine aircraft of its era. Despite only a few dozen units being produced, the Do335A earned a reputation for having great potential, which was ultimately not fully realized due to the end of the war. Its most famous combat episode was the defense of the Third Reich’s airspace during the closing period of the conflict. These aircraft were used exclusively by Germany.
