One of two Do 335A-12 trainers completed by Dornier. The two-seat Pfeil was nicknamed Ameisenbär (anteater). Photo most probably taken at Oberpaffenhofen where this aircraft was captured by US forces. Assigned to the British as AM223, it crashed into a school near Farnborough on 18 January 1946. The RAE pilot lost his life but no one on the ground was seriously hurt. Photo from: National Museum of the US Navy
