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.
