At the Oberpfaffenhofen air base near Munich — the former Dornier factory airfield, and today the home of Germany's DLR aerospace research facility — USAFE found a high-speed Dornier Do 335. This propeller-driven aircraft could reach a speed of 760 km/h, about 100 km slower than the Me 262 jet fighter. Other former Luftwaffe aircraft were collected and simply sent to blast furnaces for metal recycling.
