Dornier And WWII’s Fastest Piston Fighter: The Do 335 “Arrow” [RARE RESTORED AND COLORIZED FOOTAGE] Explore the revolutionary engineering behind the Dornier Do 335 “Pfeil” (Arrow) in this restored historical documentary. As World War II drew to a close, German aircraft designer Claudius Dornier unveiled a heavy fighter that defied conventional design. This video chronicles the development of the Luftwaffe’s fastest piston-engine aircraft, a machine that utilized a unique “push-pull” engine confi

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
