Dornier Do 335 An Illustrated History Author:Heinz J. Nowarra Language:English text Format:Hardback Dimensions:8.5" x 11" Pages:216 Publisher:Schiffer Publishing, Ltd. ISBN:9780764 318726 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. Show more
