  • Reference to Extract 25.1.46 regarding the two-seat Dornier Do 335 A-12 identified as Air Min 223. The identity Air Min 225 was quoted in the second reference as a single seat Do 335 which suffered an accident at Merville, France on a delivery flight 13.12.45. Since then this photo has come to our attention. It shows a single-seat Do 335 at Lyon-Bron in 1945 with the note "to CEV, Orange". Overpainted code letters seem to be RP+CC although the third letter is suspect. Could this be the aircraft destined to become Air Min 225, or could it even be the Do 335B-2 prototype V13 captured and test flown by the French? Comments please!
