  The Dornier Do17
Dornier constructed a number of aircraft that were later to be dubbed the "Flying Pencils" due mainly to the long thin outline of the fuselage.
The first flight of the Dornier was on November 23rd 1934, and was rejected by Lufthansa and the prototypes were left in a hangar, only to be discovered a few years later by Robert Untucht who was the air ministry liaison officer, and a test pilot with Lufthansa.
There were a number of variants of the Dornier Do17, but late in 1937 a variant was called for by the RLM (German Air Ministry) for a heavier variant that could carry a greater bombload, greater fuel capacity and be able to accomodate any range of power plants.

 ::Dornier Do 17::
The Dornier 17, along with the Heinkel III and Junkers Ju 88, were the mainstay of the German bombers during the Blitz on Britain and especially London.
In the days of the Battle of Britain, the Dornier 17 had been an easy target for the Spitfires and Hurricanes of Fighter Command but had proved itself to be a valuable part of the Luftwaffe in campaigns that led up to this battle.
It made its mark in the attack on Poland in September 1939 and its versatility was such that it was used as a bomber, reconnaissance plane and as a pathfinder by the Luftwaffe.

 DORNIER DO X Flight Journal - Find Articles
Dornier graduated with distinction from the Technische Hochschule in Munich in 1910 and was snapped up by the Zeppelin Co., where his experience with metal structures was invaluable in airship construction.
Dornier also built advanced fighter and observation aircraft during WW I. These were the first to use the all-metal, stressed skin duralumin construction that became a Dormer trademark.
Dornier's landplane transports included the Komet and Merkur series, which had done well, but none was as successful as the WaI, of which 320 were built.

 AIAA - Aerospace America Online - INDUSTRY INSIGHTS - Fairchild Dornier: Phoenix into ashes.
In April, Fairchild Dornier filed for insolvency under German law, a move similar to entering Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the U.S. The corporation had accumulated a debt of $670 million.
The Fairchild Dornier story, and to a lesser extent the BAE experience, certainly reflect the new post-September 11 business climate, which is less optimistic about risky ventures and more conservative with capital.
Perhaps the most disconcerting aspect of Fairchild Dornier’s move to seek bankruptcy protection is that it implies hopelessness.
