Box dim. 390 x 65 x 250 mm.

The Dornier Do-335 Pfeil (German: Arrow) is a German WWII heavy fighter-bomber with an unusual design.
It was based on the use of two engines in a single fuselage, with one engine located at the front of the aircraft with the pull propeller, and the other, located in the center of the fuselage, driving the pusher propeller located behind the aircraft's tail.
The Do-335's first flight took place in October 1943. Both the prototype and pre-series versions were powered by two Daimler-Benz DB 603E engines with 1,723 hp each.
In the years 1943–1945, a dozen aircraft were produced (some sources indicate a number of 37), but none entered mass production. Until the end of the war, only tests and experiments were carried out.
It also did not engage in aerial combat with Allied aircraft.
