Based on the Dornier Do335A-12 Trainer "Anteater"

Despite the fact that hopes by using this Luftwaffe rested regarding the twin-engine Dorner Do335 becoming Germany's next overpowering force inside sky, its implementation wound up being prematurely cut brief by the close of WWII. The initial design with this multipurpose aircraft showcased two fluid cooled devices powering two propellers. The appearance of Do335 ended up being nothing at all lacking revolutionary, and supplied a good top-speed of 760km/h.
Even so the aircraft demanded of its pilot supreme traveling strategy, particularly during take-off and landing whenever cross-shaped end and rear propeller often collided using the runway. As a result, the dual seater A-12 trainer variation connected with Do335 originated, a transformation associated with the single-seater fighter-bomber A-1 variation. In the beginning, just some trainer variants was prepared become produced. But as a result of the considerable number of accidents during journey tests the A-0 plus the heightened must precisely instruct pilots, requirements was at reality developed to transform the mid-production A-1 into A-12 trainer aircraft.

The strange appearance of Do335 finished up being taken one action further on A-12 variation, with the help of a trainer cockpit above and behind the genuine key cockpit. This additional "hump" regarding fuselage led pilots to nickname it "Anteater". Of eleven A-1 types produced, eight have already been considered changed to A-12 kinds, but simply several will be in truth completed. At least one amongst these aircraft was indeed finally seized by the invading Allies, and transported to England for display and experimentation.
