ABOUT THE DESIGN:    ABOUT THE MODEL:
In 1944, German intelligence identified a new threat to the Fatherland: America's B-29 "Super Fortress," which was scheduled to soon be deployed to the European Theater. If the Luftwaffe was going to stop these massive new bombers, it would need a heavy fighter that could operate at same high altitudes at which the B-29 was designed to cruise.

One solution to this problem was proposed by the German aircraft manufacturer Dornier, which had already enjoyed success with its Do.334 "Anteater" push-pull fighter. Like the 334, the P.238 had high-performance piston engines located both fore and aft. But the 238 was significantly longer and narrower than the "Anteater,", which would theoretically increase its performance at high altitude.

The P.238 never made it beyond the proposal stage.
