in reply # 14.my dear Richard explained that,the Do P.350 was a transport aircraft not a fighter,what

Do P.350 Heavy night-fighter

It's still no more Info or drawing ?.

This is the only known mention of the Do 350 in any surviving wartime document - from the war diary of the Chef TLR (effectively the RLM's development section at this time). Given the timing, which coincides neatly with the 2-TL-Jaeger, aka Nacht- und Schlechtwetterjaeger competition, I would guess that this is the official RLM designation for the Do P 256. More details of this competition, entirely based on contemporary documents, are given in my book Secret Projects of the Luftwaffe Volume 1: Jet Fighters 1939-1945.

Is there any information available regarding the project number P.235, given that Dan Sharp considers it likely that the entry "Dornier Do 235" listed in the Air Material Command's Glossary of German Aeronautical Codes, Models, Project Numbers, Abbreviations, Etc. Final Edition is a typo for P.235 because Dornier's project numbers used both 'Do' and a three digit number?

In the book "Eurofighter" (Vetter/Vetter - Motorbuchverlag) I found the designation Dornier DoP.204 in the text, unfortunately without a drawing. I am a little confused, since Dornier projects with the 2xx designation were already in use before or during World War II. Since this is a project from the 1980s, it should have a designation DoP.4xx or DoP.5xx.Perhaps one of you knows more about it....

That's right,abd series 400s was from late 1960s,so may it was P.506 ?.

Speculation is not helpful!

 

[boxkite]

Pure speculation is not only unhelpful - it harms the endeavours of this forum to shed light on the darkness.

And to pre-empt questions as to why I don't show the P378-5 before the -6: There is no -5 in the (complete) brochure! So please don't speculate, if the P378-5 did exist. We have no proof of their existence, so for us there is only -1, -2, -3, -4 and -6.
