Dornier Do 335 Pfeil was a fighter bomber of the Luftwaffe. This high-power machine taking advantage of the "power inflation" in the later stages of WWII is reminiscent of Dr.Eirin who have put an end to the "age inflation" with 100,000,000 years old. Also, in contrast to many other aircraft which were eagerly equipped with cutting-edge technology, Dornier opposed this with a push-pull configuration that had been kept secret since Dornier’s establishment. The craft leaves an impression mainly because of its totally bizarre design that goes beyond just creative, having both forward and backward-mounted propellers, and yet it excels in speed, acceleration, and revolution performance, and is said to have demonstrated maneuverability that surpasses conventional wisdom regarding two-motored planes. People are not always what they seem to be. Unfortunately, although 35 of these planes were produced, there is no record of participation in actual combat, and the only record that remains is that of British witnesses being amazed on witnessing the aircraft. With a top speed of 770 km/h (this speed varies a little depending on the source,) it was faster than the J7W1 Shinden, which was said to be one of the fastest reciprocating aircraft, and it had a high survival potential thanks to being able to fly even if one engine stopped. It was also fully efficient as a fighter bomber, and had the potential to surpass the unbeatable Messerschmitt/Focke-Wulf and become its successor, if only it had made it to the production line.
This plane’s nickname, "Pfeil," means "Arrow," and refers to the unique outward appearance of the craft.
