<p>The Dornier Do 335 <i>Pfeil</i>, unofficially also <i>Ameisenbär</i> ("anteater"), was a World War II heavy fighter built by the Dornier company. The Pfeil's 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.

The Do 335 of the NASM is the only one left. The aircraft was the second preproduction Do 335 A-0, designated A-02, with construction number (Werknummer) 240102, and factory radio code registration, or Stammkennzeichen, of VG+PH. In 1975 the aircraft was restored by Dornier employees, many of whom had worked on the airplane originally.
