  Dornier Do 18 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Dornier Do 18 was a development of the Dornier Do 15 "Wal" flying-boat.
It was highly vulnerable to such heavily armed RAF aircraft as the Short Sunderland and Lockheed Hudson and was soon relegated to the air/sea rescue role.
A Do 18 was the first German aircraft to be shot down by British aircraft during the war, when one of a formation of three was caught over the North Sea by three Fleet Air Arm Blackburn Skua bomber-fighters flying from HMS Ark Royal on September 26, 1939.

 Dornier Flugzeugwerke - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dornier Flugzeugwerke was a German aircraft manufacturer founded in Friedrichshafen in 1914 by Claudius Dornier.
Dornier, originally Dornier Metallbau rose to prominence in the 1920s and 1930s in aviation and as a manufacturer of large flying boats, remarkable at the time for their all-metal construction.
Dornier also built a series of successful land planes, including the Komet ("Comet") and Merkur ("Mercury") that were used by Luft Hansa and other European carriers during the 1920s and early 30s.

 Airliners.net: Dornier Do 27
The Dornier Do 27 was the first military aircraft to be manufactured in quantity in what was West Germany since World War 2, and it was also built in limited numbers for civil customers.
The Do 27 traces back to the Do 25, which Professor Claude Dornier (Dornier was responsible for the Do 17 medium bomber in WW2) designed in Spain for a Spanish military requirement for a light general purpose utility aircraft.
Do 27 models include the initial Do 27A and dual control Do 27B for Germany; the Do 27H series that was based on the A4 but with a more powerful engine and three blade prop; and the Do 27Q series, equivalent to the Do 27A.

 Dornier Do 335
The Dornier Do 335 was a bold attempt to embody the centre-line thrust concept in a practical and efficient airframe.
The Do 335 V4 was intended to be the prototype for the two-seat Do 435 night and all-weather interceptor, featuring side-by-side seating, cabin pressurisation, 2500 hp Jumo 222 engines and long span wooden outer wing panels.
Do 335A-0 and A-1 aircraft are thought to have flown a number of operational missions with EK335.

 Matchbox Dornier Do-18D-2/G-1
Six Dornier 18s were entrusted to the German airline between 1935 and 1937 and because of its exceptional range (2,765 miles) the aircraft aroused the interest of the Luftwaffe as well, who ordered a military version.
A Dornier Do-18D flying boat of 2/Küstenfliegergruppe 506 trying to shadow the carrier Ark Royal was engaged by Lieutenant B.S. McEwen and his air-gunner Petty Officer Airman B.M. Seymour in their Blackburn Skua of No 803 Squadron just north of the Great Fisher Bank.
I think this is a good thing to do because so many of us began the modeling adventure building these when we were little kids and it is an interesting trip down memory lane to reconstruct the model with the skills acquired over the years.

 Airline - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
German airliners built by Junkers, Dornier, and Fokker were the most advanced in the world at the time.
The peak of German air travel came in the mid-1930s, when Nazi propaganda ministers approved the start of commercial zeppelin service: the big airships were a symbol of industrial might, but the fact that they used flammable hydrogen gas raised safety concerns that culminated with the Hindenburg disaster of 1937.
The advent of advanced computerized reservations systems in the late 1970s, most notably Sabre, allowed airlines to easily perform cost-benefit analyses on different pricing structures, leading to almost perfect price discrimination in some cases (that is, filling each seat on an aircraft at the highest price that can be charged without driving the consumer elsewhere).

The Do 28 Skyservant was the second aircraft to bear the Do 28 designation, but is similar only in overall configuration to the first Do 28.
Dornier's original Do 28 first flew in 1959 and was a twin engined development of the high wing single engine Do 27 utility.
The Do 28 was developed into a number of progressively improved variants, from the original D, through the D1 and D2, to the 1282, introduced in 1980.

 Do-24K
The X-4 was flown by Dornier pilot Erich Gundermann and Dutch Naval pilot J.W.F. Backer.
Main causes for the rise in the delay was the draft of personel from the factory's for military duty and the stagnating foreign delivery of raw materials.
June 1940 Flugkapitan Karl Born, commander of Seenotflugkommando I at Norderney, together with reprisentatives of Dornier and factory pilot Erich Gundermann came to Aviolanda at Papendrecht to see the X-38 in own person.

 Dornier 335
With one engine mounted conventionally in the nose driving a propeller at the front of the aircraft and one engine buried mid-fuselage driving a rear mounted propeller, it had the aerodynamic characteristics of a single-engined fighter yet the power of a twin.
I suggest you do not glue the upper and lower halves of these inserts together or glue them to the wing until you have joined the upper and lower halves of the wing.
Most of the pre-production Do335's completed by Dornier were painted RLM 70/71/65 except for the Do 335 V1, which was painted in overall RLM 71 with RLM 65 undersurfaces and the propellers and spinners painted in RLM 70.The standard scheme for twin-engined bombers and reconnaissance aircraft was RLM 70/71/65.

Both Dornier and Junkers were competitors for the contract, and each received an order for three prototypes in late 1935.
The Dornier design was given the project number of Do.19, while the Junkers prototype became the Ju.89.
The Dornier Do.19 was only built in prototype form, yet it was a promising design that could have yielded not only a useful long-range bomber, but the desperately needed experience in a field where the Luftwaffe failed to shine.

 Pro Modeler Dornier Do-217 E-5
This is the third review of a Dornier Do-217 derivative kit now and I am not going to rehash the entire history of the aircrafts development here.
The Do 217 E-5 featured a dorsal turret with a 13 mm MG 131 machine gun, a similar gun mounted ventrally, three 7.92 mm MG 15 in the forward fuselage, and a 15 mm MG 151 cannon in the nose.
While the decals provided do cover the basic markings of two aircraft, have good print registry and color density, they really don’t give us anything in the line of service stencils and most of us are aware of just how compulsive the Luftwaffe was about marking everything.

Dornier DO-31 (Berman experimental VTOL transport) made and tested in Munich, Ger as a prototype VTOL transport able to support VTOL combat aircraft in the field.
By tilting the cruise engine nozzles, the Do 31 was accelerated to the speed of approximately 250kph required for aerodynamic horizontal flight, and the eight lift-producing engines were stopped again after 20 seconds.
The Do 31, which established several world records during its ferry flight to the 1969 Paris Air Show, was the first and so-far only vertical take-off jet transport built in the world.
