My info, Fastest prop plane ever...

There are several faster prop planes:
"officially" Fastest prop plane ever: Tu-114. Fastest prop plane with piston engines: "Rare Bear" F8F. Fastest prop plane in WWII: XP-47J.

...And yes, this hunk of German Iron is totally double-bagger ugly (much like Denholm's revered He-111).   ;)...

The definition of "In the war" should be changed... They where at-least encounterd in the air by Allied pilots a couple times.
Stupidly brilliant idea..., but I dont see it ever making it in unfortunatly.

Ill make you a  bet,... the  A-26 gets in the game before a Dornier-335 does....  :rock (takers?)

No, it still wasn't and I don't even believe the MC did say exactly that ;)

Those shows are rife with bad data.  Don't trust anything you get from them.

Well, it may well be that the 335 at certain altitudes was the fastest prop fighter. I have a book with a alt vs speed chart of a 335 nightfighter version.
According to that chart, this version does 380+ at SL, with the external antennas. It was caluclated that the next model, with antennas integrated into the wings and thus no extra drag penalty, would do over 400 at SL. I think this would also be representative for the dayfighter version.
