About this product

Product Information

Perhaps the most seaworthy flying boat ever built, the elegant, tri-motor Dornier Do 24 served with both the Allied and Axis forces in very different parts of the globe during World War 2, garnering an excellent reputation along the way This study uses archival records, first-hand accounts and revealing photographs to illuminate the combat career of this remarkable aircraft for the first time in English. The German-built Do 24 was the Netherlands Navy's principal aerial asset during the Japanese invasion of the East Indies. While the survivors of that ordeal served in the Australian Air force, in occupied Holland and France production continued apace and the Do 24 equipped the German Air-Sea rescue service, whose crews loved and respected the machine. The type witnessed the rise and fall of the Luftwaffe over all the European seas, took part in the desperate evacuations of Wehrmacht troops on the Baltic in the face of the overwhelming Soviet advance, and was pressed out of service only with the withdrawal of Spanish Do 24s in 1969. This volume tells the long and eventful story of the faithful Do 24 in full.

  • An excellent reference for a little-known aircraft.

    Dornier's Do 24 Flying Boat is one of the more obscure types operated by the Luftwaffe in WW2. This excellent title from the Osprey Air Combat series goes a long way to redressing that situation. The book covers the operation of the Do 24 in WW2 and beyond by Dutch, German Spanish and French forces, as Australia (ex-Dutch) and lesser known operators such as the Soviet Union and Sweden. Well illustrated with period photos and excellent colour profile artwork and backed up by a very readable text - highly recommended for modellers and aircraft enthusiasts alike!

  • Dornier Do 24 Units - Book:

    Nice book who covers mostly all use of Do 24 during the second world war and also use in the fifties and sixties. Pictures could have been better selected but it is the written words that counts... Recommended!
