Apparently when the U.S. captured one, they tried flying it, but, it kept overheating while they ran up the engines. I think it was finally tested when they got it to the U.S.A.
Proof that looks don't matter; it's not as good looking as any single engine aircraft, but that performance and capability is nothing to laugh at in the early 1940's.
Very intersting plane but even if they'd had it in early 44 it wasn't going to solve the gas and materials shortages or the allies vast industrial advantage over the Axis. I very much doubt it would have changed the fate of Nazi Germany, they were finished at the end of 41 when they stalled in the east and the USA entered the war. It was just a matter of time. I read in a foot note on a book dealing with Operation torch, the US out produced the entire German war production, in just 1943.....short of an atomic bomb no amount of wonder weapons was going to overcome that. They did build tigers, ME 262, assulat rifles in larger numbers, they didn't turn the tide

3:29 The two-seater variant was called the anteater (German: Armeinsenbär, literally ant bear)
Great name for an aircraft!
it is in the old Panzer General strategic electronic game, many years prior to WoT
Oh that’s pretty cool!
@@PremierHistory The only thing is, the PzG2 only runs on a Syesem 2000 Win, which is to the right of me, lol
I remember that game!!! Still have and play it once in a while!!!

Fascinating design!
Definitely! Not something you see everyday
Interesting! I wonder if anyone else took the push/pull concept further after the war
The Cessna Skymaster!
Yeah the Skymaster in the 60s used this concept quite successfully
Dornier Seastar
In all my WWII studies I’ve NEVER even seen this plane talked about before! I just love learning new things. Thanks so much for an interesting video!
Glad you learnt something new! Always great when that happens
I absolutely love this plane.
It’s amazing isn’t it!
I have a Tamiya model of it. I think it would have been a problem for the allied forces in WWII if it had gotten into production early on.
wow
Indeed
much propelars, such speed, wow
How did the pilot get in and out of the Dornier 335? 🤔
Two engines, less drag than a regular twin engine plane.
For sure, this brings out that incredible speed

Yes very true, so many other variables that would change the outcome of the war for Germany
Too little too late
In the end it definitely was
“Pfeil” is pronounced like the English word “file”.
No it isn't. It is approximately pronounced pfile.
The p is not silent.
@@jamesashmore503 Stimmt, aber Amerikaner sind zu faul, um den Buchstaben P sowieso auszusprechen.
