The Dornier Do 335 Pfeil (Arrow), unofficially also Ameisenbaer (Anteater), was a World War II heavy fighter built by the Dornier company. Do 335 performance was much better than other twin-engine designs due to its unique push-pull layout. The Luftwaffe was desperate to get the design into squadron use, but delays in engine deliveries meant only a handful were delivered before the war ended.
