Re: French testing of German aircraft

Roger Receveau's account of testing the He 274 and Do 335 is reproduced (in French) on Jean Houben's wonderful site "histoires d'aviateurs.." - if a Frenchman has flown it, there's a report here...

The French even tested (on the ground) the explosive bolt system designed to jettison the Do 335's rear prop for pilot bail out - needless to say, "it proved totally ineffective.."
