Re: Do 335 A-1 Air Ministry AM225 --> W.Nr. 240161?
Again weŽre victim of uncertainty which Werknummern are allocated to Do335s like 2/1, 1/3, 14/18, 16/20 etc.etc. Candidates concerning the camouflage imho are 14/18 and 16/20. Afaik 14/18 broke apart when being moved due to the missing rear engine.
The missing rear engine is not the problem imo, because there were enough airframes and engines in Oberpfaffenhoffen to assemble a complete Do 335. And remember, the British were 2nd in line for the distribution of airworthy Do 335s. The best Do 335 airframes were shipped to the US excluding white 112 which was completed by the US, but ceded to the British. Hitchcock has 16/20 as WNr 240120, I have it as 240163, but this is a guess. IŽm afraid weŽll never know.
