By 1943 the Germans had realised that their Amerika Bomber would need an escort. The 235 was based on the layout of the Dornier Do 335 then in development. The new parasite was fast (690mph!), agile and carried a pair of early air to air missiles. They also were equipped with two marker flares to mark the targets for the bombers. AG1 starts the rear engine and AG2 switches on the docking lights. Use an air start.
