	Dornier Do J Wal - flying boat
		The Wal all-metal flying-boat was a direct development of the Gs I of 1919 (which was broken-up) and the uncompleted Gs II.
		Wals were also built by Piaggio and in Japan, the Netherlands and Spain, and later in Germany.
		Wals pioneered air services in South America, were widely used in the Mediterranean (with eight-ten seats) and, operating from depot ships, established Luft-Hansa's South Atlantic mail services.

	ANCIENT SEAPLANES 11
		The Dornier Wal flying boat, which used BMW engines, first flew on November 6, 1922 and was used by the Italian, Spanish, and Chilean navies, and the German Air Force designated this aircraft the DO-15.
		One of the eight Dornier Wal flying boats that were purchased by the Chilean Navy in 1926 and first assigned to the Chilean 1st Naval Aviation Group, based at Quintero, Chile.
		The Dornier Wal flying boat Groenland Wal (Greenland Whale), with aircraft identification number D-2053, that was used by the German aviator Wolfgang von Gronau, and his three crewmen, Fritz Albrecht, Franz Hack, and Ghert von Roth, for an around-the-world flight, from July 21st to November 10th, 1932.

	Do335
		The Dornier Do335 was a bold attempt to embody the centre-line thrust concept in a practical and efficient airframe.
		In May 1942 Dornier submitted a refined version of the P.231 design in response to a Technische Amt requirement for a single seat high speed bomber.
		In the light of the massive Allied air raids which had begun that year, the aircraft was to be redesigned as a multi-role fighter of broadly similar performance.

	FLUG REVUE Datafiles: Dornier Wal
		Over 300 Wal were built by CMASA, Piaggio in Italy, CASA in Spain, Kawasaki in Japan, Aviolanda in the Netherlands and Dornier in Germany.
		Wolfgang Gronau for example flew with a Wal from Greenland to Chicago in 1930.
		The Wal was the last commercial flying boat in Germany and also marked both the climax and the end of German commercial flying boat duties.

	Dornier Do 335
		The concept for the Do 335 came from the Dornier fly- ing boats with push-pull engines built during W W I. Ad- vantages of the design were less drag, better control in case of loss of one engine and better maneuverability.
		By the spring of 1944 Dornier submitted an updated version of his bomber which received funding by the German government and was designated the Do 335.
		The aircraft was as- sembled at Dornier's plant in Oberpfaffenhofen on April 16, 1945.

	FlightSim.Com Review: Dornier Wal
		The Dornier Wal ('whale') aircraft as such was a radical design at the time of its first flight in 1919.
		The sea-wing design became something of a Dornier seaplane trademark, but could also be found on the large PanAm clippers of the 1930s.
		Dornier was able to sell 200 of these planes and some were used in pioneering flights, like Roald Amundsen's attempt to fly over the North Pole or the establishment of a post route across the South Atlantic - with a catapult-equipped ship as a stopover base.

		These included the Wal ("Whale") of 1924 and the colossal Do X. During this period, Dornier built its aircraft outside Germany to avoid the restrictions placed on German aircraft manufacturers by the Treaty of Versailles.
		Dornier's most significant design before and during World War II was the Do 17 and its derivatives, which provided the Luftwaffe with a bomber and nightfighter, making use of forced labour.
		Dornier also developed the fastest piston-engined fighter of the war, the Do 335, which was too late to enter service.

		The Dornier Wal (meaning Whale) flying boat played an unique role in the 1920s and 1930s, because of its striking construction and fascinating performances.
		Actually, the Wal was the first success in a big family of Dornier flying boats and land aeroplanes.
		This is a true story about a boat that mastered the seas and the sky and the adventures of the magnificent men that make the history of the Dornier Wal flying boat to a modern saga from an age bygone.

	Early Development
		Dornier's design, the P.14 was ready in 1935 and was the only of the three that could be ready in time to meet the requirements of the Dutch Navy.
		Very soon Dornier was able to make an offer, after which on August 6th 1936 the first contract was signed for the delivery of 6 flying boats to the Dutch Navy, getting the designation Do-24.
		Aero-Metall was the Swiss Dornier factory and she handed the order over to a Dornier daughter company, A.G. fur Dornier Flugzeuge based at Altenrhein, on the Swiss side of the Bodensee.

		The Dornier Wal (Whale) was one of the best-known and most successful flying boats ever developed.
		The design of the subsequent Wal models built in Pisa, of the Manzell built in Friedrichshafen on Lake Constance and of the Super Wal had to be accordingly adapted to the new, advanced technology.
		The Dornier Wal, which in the mid-twenties had set up numerous world records for range, speed and altitude, did not only serve as a safe means of transport for crossing the Atlantic but also for exploring polar regions.

		The nearest I've seen is Nowarra's "Dornier Wal", but it is mainly a history and skimps on a lot of the technical aspects...it's also in German, not my native tongue.
		The remaining MLD Wals (D-9/D-46) are shown as being license-built by Aviolanda in Holland as c/n 4 through 41 respectively.
		One of the final Wal variants was a larger and heavier type often called the 10-tonne Wal (the earlier ones were 8-t Wals) but its official designation was Do J IIf; it is possible that the "f" in this designation is Bram's "F".

		In 1922, a twin-engine monoplane flying boat known as the Dornier Wal (whale), very similar to the earlier 1918 design, was first flown.
		So successful was the Dornier Wal that variants of the basic design remained in production until 1936, and Dornier flying boats of the same general configuration were used by the German Luftwaffe throughout the years of World War II.
		The ultimate in the Wal configuration concept found expression in one of the most remarkable aircraft, either landplane or flying boat, ever built: the Dornier Do X, which first flew in 1929.

		However Italy rejected a Norwegian proposal that the Italian government supply two Dornier Wal flying boats, one of which was to carry Amundsen and to be flown by Hjalmar Riiser-Larsen, Amundsen's pilot on the 1925 flight to 88ºN and the second-in-command and navigator on the 1926
		After an unsuccessful attempt to purchase a Dornier Wal in Germany, Amundsen finally obtained the use of a French Latham seaplane and crew.

	Schorpioen
		In the 1920s the Dornier "Wal" flying boat saw widespread use around the world, serving in both military and civilian roles.
		Of the many military Wal operators, Dutch air units stationed in the Netherlands East Indies were finding it particularly difficult to combat the growing waves of piracy (both sea and air) with the outclassed Wal and asked for a replacement aircraft to improve their effectiveness.
		Dornier responded by developing the Do 20 patrol flying boat, a four-engined aircraft significantly larger than the Wal and carrying a defensive armament in several power-operated turrets.

		Most of the plane's production took place there until 1931 because of prohibitions in the Treaty of Versailles after World War I that prevented their construction in Germany, since the plane had both military and civilian uses.
