  Dornier Do 335.htm
Bovendien kon er in het bommenruim tussen rompspanten 8 en 12 een bijkomende brandstoftank of een speciaal wapen ingebouwd worden.
Maar ook de Do 335 kreeg te kampen met één van de grootste problemen van de Luftwaffe tijdens de laatste maanden van de oorlog: te laat en in een te gering aantal beschikbaar zijn van een nieuw en uitstekend vliegtuig.
In ieder geval mag worden gezegd dat de Do 335 in ieder opzicht een uitstekend vliegtuig was wiens vliegeigenschappen en militaire waarde te laat kwamen om nog een rol te kunnen spelen in het verloop van de Tweede Wereldoorlog.

  Dornier-335 Arrow-WWII experimental fighter card model
Prof.Dr. Dornier first patented the configuration in 1937 that was to render the Do 335 unique when it appeared six years later, and to prove the practicability of the aft-mounted airscrew with its long extension shaft he commissioned Ulrich Bitter to design a small flying test bed embodying this feature.
The Do 335 V4 airframe was assigned to the Do 435 development programme and was destined never to be completed, still being under construction in the autumn of 1944 when the Do 435 programme was cancelled by the RLM.
First proposed in the autumn of 1943, the Do 435 was a night and allweather interceptor which, based on the Do 335, was to have featured a simplified structure and side-by-side seating for its two crew members, with cabin pressurization and long-span wooden outer wing panels.

During the period of development for the Do 335, the L.Dv 521/1 (1941 edition) was the current official document specifying the particular camouflage colours to be used on all Luftwaffe aircraft.
On the basis of this document and specifications, the Do 335, a fast-bomber (“Schnellkampfflugzeug”), was to be painted in RLM 70, 71 and 65.
Still however, based on inspection of the NASM Do 335 in 1973 prior to its later restoration and repainting by Dornier, it can be regarded as highly probable that all Do 335s produced from late-autumn 1944 onward had their undersides finished in RLM 76.
