Eine Doku über die Dornier 335. Dieser wohl leistungsstärkste Kolbenmotorjäger deutscher Konstruktion war der Höhe-, aber auch Endpunkt jener Ära des militärischen Flugzeugbaus.
@MrFattyfatfatboy Eric Brown didn't grow up in Germany, he was there as a language student as part of a teacher exchange program 1938/'39 and was a fluent German speaker. He was deported to Switzerland when war broke out with Britain. He then joined the Royal Navy as the RAF didn't need him immediately.Became a test pilot after seeing active service from an escort carrier. Think he still holds the record for the most types of aircraft flown! Oh' and he was Scottish!
@Weibkoln yeah ,there was only two models ,one was a trainer,Eric Brown was an english man who grew up in Germany in the 30s, he actualy wanted to join the luftwaffe but they would not accept him so he flew for the royal navy.He flew all allied fighters at RAE and all german planes for the same people.The ME262 and Fw190 were his favourite ,the 262 was untouchable in his eyes.
My grandpa flew a Do 335 with Contra propellors in the nose, and in the tail??
Instead of the propellors you can see here, they could fly 877km per our...
And the disigners of this Dornier, also had a new trowser for it,
If they mad a looping with 840km per our, the trowser got automatically pumped up, sothat your blood stays in your head, and also you organics did hurt less...

It looks like it would suffer from the same problem that all WWII German aircraft did...insufficient range.

I do not believe this aircraft ever overcame it's inherent Polar Moment of Inertia issues while maneuvering.
