The Pfeil's performance was much better than other twin-engine designs due to its unique push-pull configuration and the lower aerodynamic drag of the in-line alignment of the two engines. It was Nazi Germany's fastest piston-engined aircraft of World War II. The Luftwaffe was desperate to get the design into operational use, but delays in engine deliveries meant that only a handful were delivered before the war ended. When the US Army overran the Oberpfaffenhofen factory in late April 1945, only 11 Do 335A-1 single seat fighter-bombers and two Do 335A-12 conversion trainers had been completed. As part of Operation Seahorse, two of the surviving A-0 single seaters were put aboard the US aircraft carrier 'Reaper' and shipped back to the USA, for detailed evaluation by the US Navy and USAAF. An airworthy A-12 two seater was flown to Britain and flight tested at RAE Farnborough, but a companion A-1 force-landed in France on its delivery flight and was abandoned.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.flyingmule.com\/powersearch\/?Search=CAT_TYP_PRP_FTR_DO335\"\u003eDornier Do 335 Pfeil\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDesigned as a high-performance fighter that was derived from a cancelled tandem-engined bomber project, the Do 335 was first flown in September 1943.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"clsCopyright\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.flyingmule.com\/range\/diecast-model\/aircraft\/solido-war-master\"\u003eSolido War Master\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Solido \"War Master\" range presents affordable, ready-made diecast models of military aircraft.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSolido \"War Master\" diecast airplanes feature:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiecast metal and plastic construction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRealistic panel lines, antennas, access panels and surface details.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterchangeable extended\/retracted landing gear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePresentation stand to display the aircraft \"in flight\".\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Air force 1","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45611439784091,"sku":"S7200006","price":51.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0657\/9214\/7611\/files\/31093.jpg?v=1791897576","url":"https:\/\/passiondiecast.com\/products\/dornier-do-335a-1-pfeil-raf-germany-1945-captured-aircraft-solido-war-master-172-s7200006","provider":"Passion Diecast","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
