SURPRISE ATTACK AT RECHLIN After initial flight testing at the factory location in Oberphaffenhofen, in October 1943 the Do 335 V1 prototype was ferried to the Rechlin Erprobungsstelle for official trials. Despite some instability problems at high speeds, the test pilots at Rechlin were very excited about the performance characteristics of the Do 335. They found the prototype to have excellent handling, good maneuverability, quick acceleration, and a surprisingly tight turning radius. YOUR MISSION After completing an advanced crossover training flight in several of the recently produced prototypes, you are bringing your students back to land at Rechlin. Even though this area has been relatively secure in the past, your eyes keep scanning the sky for Allied intruders. It would be especially bad to be caught by surprise right now, because your Do 335 V9 is the only one carrying any armament.
