Germany Wasn’t Sad to See the Dornier Do 335 Die
It was innovative in that it featured modern retractable tricycle landing gear, which needed to be reinforced to accommodate the increased weight of the two engines and heavy airframe.
Here’s What You Need to Remember: The United States military captured two of the aircraft at the end of the war, and those were reviewed and tested but the complexity of the aircraft not to mention the fact that the jet age was dawning resulted in little beyond those being a curiosity study. Today, only a single surviving Dornier Do 335 still exists.
