I was always a +1 on the Do-335. It is such a cool aircraft and I think the German rides are at a bit of a disadvantage by the HTC policy of not implementing anything that wasn't deployed in combat in squadron strength. By the time the Germans were ready to deploy their ability to actually do so had been bombed into oblivion. Do-335 A-1 was in production in late '44, but the delays in engine deliveries and the bombing of the first production plant delayed deployment. A new plant went into production in Jan '45 at Oberpfaffenhofen but had only completed 11 A-1s and a couple of two seat trainers by the time the plant was overrun by the US Army in April.
