Le push-pull ‘Pfeil’ Do 335

The Dornier Do 335 Pfeil (« Arrow ») was a World War II heavy fighter built by the Dornier company. The two-seater trainer version was also called Ameisenbär (« anteater »). The Pfeil’s performance was much better than other twin-engine designs due to its unique « push-pull » layout and the much lower drag of the in-line alignment of the two engines.
