Ok, not exactly a Ferrari of the skies. Moroni(c) alright. The lack or armament makes sense for an Italian fighter plane though - that way it can surrender faster. (Forgive me all Italo-Americans in this forum, that was of course a w(h)opping unwokeness just now, but I couldn't resist!)
Who came first I wonder? The tandem engine front & rear prop concept was favored very much by Dornier as early as WW I and in their Flying Boats; as WWII was drawing to an end and the Third Reich was throwing anything against the writing on the wall to see what would stick, the concept was applied to a fighter. Unlikely as it seems, the Do 335
Pfeil (Arrow) heavy fighter even saw (limited) operational use in the last two months or so and acquitted itself well. It was too fast for any Allied fighter to catch up with it, even at tree top altitudes.
Those Do 335s were friggin' huge in comparison to regular WW II fighters (especially German ones), just look at how they compare with people around them.
