I speed readed I was actually looking up the specs of the Rolls Royce Vulture X engine just to give me an idea of the ammount of power and what it actually looked like
The Do-335 did see combat, though not at squad level. I read one account where 4 Tempests jumped a single Do-335. End result the Do-335 simply outran them. My guess is there may be a few other similar, one-off accounts.Boo
Does running from a fight constitute combat?
Ask the pilot of the 335 who had no guns. Pretty sure it was combat to him.
From what I read, this was a test pilot, not a combat pilot. That plus no guns - yeah i'd be running too.
Alone against 4 Tempests, in an unarmed aircraft... WW2 wasnt a stupid computer game, that poor guy was playing with his life!! Think about it. I would run like hell too.
Yes, but it does not get the Do335 its eligibility. It was not the Do335 people want in AH as it had no guns.
Debrody has the wisdom of the pro-fight plane selection Early war planes for the win. There's a Sea Fury at a Museum I recently went to (apologies for poor shot):-(Image removed from quote.)
6? Aren't you suppose to be in school?
