Dornier Do 18

The D0 18 was a directly descendant of the outstanding whale-family. It's first flight was in 1935, now as a twin engine Parasol single wing plane. The Do 18 D was replaced as a sea-reconnaissance plane by the Do 18 G-1 at the outbreak of war. An unarmed training version with double steering was named Do 18 H. The production was canceled in 1940 as many Do 18 G-1 were rebuilt to Do 18 N-1 for SAR-purposes. The Do 18 was seen in the first months of the year above the North-Sea and the Channel, mainly during the Batlle of Britain. In total, 100 Do 18 were built, thereof 70 Do 18 G's.
