For one, I generally take Closterman's words with a grain of salt generally.


Agreed.

I never said it didn't fly.  I said it didn't see service.

As far as a 1946 arena goes, I'd take a Hornet or Bearcat over the Do335.

Maybe, but I'd like to try the Shinden, regardless....

Pierre Clostermann reportedly encountered one while flying with a flight of Tempests.

The differnces between the Bantam War series edition of The Big Show and the latest updated edition he did are many, I think he revised some of his tales and added more anti-american feelings.

Well... it was a good thing we all agreed the Bloody Hun was the most dangerous of the Axis. Cause they could throw some hardware at ya. Elektroboats, 262s, super tanks, missiles,anti ship smart missiles, nerve gas, this fracking twin prop thing. They had all kinds of toys in the attic to throw at us given time. Good bloody thing we didnt give them the time.

With the wing position, did it have bad stall characteristics?

The rear blind spots were considerable I would think.

I was thinking the same thing when watching the video.  Looks like the AC had rear visibility worse than a F6F

It had mirrors installed as far as I know, but I'm not sure.
