Interesting Do-335
#1

I thought everybody would find this link interesting, it has many rare pictures of the Do-335 as it is developed and shipped to various places and there are even photos of it being loaded onto a 747 and it and many other experimental/advanced Nazi aircraft being transported aboard the HMS Reaper.

Worlds fastest? Yes.

It was capable of a maximum speed of 763 km/h (474 mph) at 6,500 m (21,300 ft) with MW 50 boost, or 686 km/h (426 mph) without boost, and able to climb to 8,000 m (26,250 ft) in under 15 minutes. Even with one engine out, it could reach about 563 km/h (350 mph).

Third prototype DB 603. It ran on pure alcohol with MW injection and was tuned to 3,000 hp (2,200 kW)

I assume that all Models equipped with the engine would have the function, unless it was deemed unnessary at a later stage of the engine development for production versions.
