Does anyone have any information about the use of the Bf 110 as a towing aircraft? I'm particularly interested in the rear of the aircraft where the rear section was removed and the towing mechanism set in place. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I would say, you need the book from Georg Schlaug about "Lastensegler" in WW2. IIRC the Bf110 three plane was used in 1941 for towing of single Me 321. That was only possibility until He-111Z appearence
