Dornier Do 335

This is the first comprehensive, well-illustrated documentation on the Do 335, one of the milestones in German aviation history. The Do 335 was developed by Dornier as a heavy fighter in 1943. One of the last high-performance piston-engined aircraft designed, the Do 335 was powered by tandem fore-aft engines, a concept proven in numerous Dornier flying boats. As a result of this configuration, drag was reduced to little more than that of a single-engined aircraft, enabling the Do 335 to achieve very high speeds. The Do 335 represented the apex of propeller-driven aircraft in the Second World War.[AuthorName]By (author) Karl-Heinz Regnat[/AuthorName][AuthorBio][/AuthorBio][NumIllustration]over 240 black and white and color photographs, drawings, and charts[/NumIllustration][CoAuthor][/CoAuthor][SubTitle]An Illustrated History[/SubTitle][ColorPattern]over 240 black and white and color photographs, drawings, and charts[/ColorPattern]
