Description

The Dornier Do X: A Legendary Flying Boat. In 1920s and early 1930s Germany, only three Dornier Do X flying boats were produced. Despite their limited numbers, the aircraft was notable for its size, accommodating over 100 passengers and crew in comfort. Powered by twelve engines, it featured sleeping and dining areas, making it suitable for international flights. This book provides a detailed account of the Do X's design, development, and construction, followed by its testing and use as an airliner. The author explores the aircraft's historic significance and ultimately discusses the fate of all three examples. The book is accompanied by a superb collection of photographs, including images of the Do X in construction, flight, and luxurious interior. The photographs offer a rare glimpse into the Do X's history, showcasing its construction, crew, and luxurious fittings.
