The Do-24 was one of Germany's most elegant seaplanes. Andre has done an absolutely first rate job in covering this aircraft. The site address is:
http://www.fly.to/do24
The sections of his site are as follows:
Development - A short history of the early development, with isometric and plan view drawings. Andre has used thumbnail images which can be seen enlarged, a very convenient feature. He uses this technique throughout his site.
Prototypes - A short history of the Do-24 V1, V2, V3, & V4, with photos.
Do-24K - A short history of this variant with numerous photos.
Do-24N - A short history of the N-1 variant with 9 photos.
Do-24T - The history section hasn't been written yet. Numerous photos are presented.
Do-24MS - There isn't much known about this aircraft, although one is known to have existed and Andre has a photo to prove it.
Post-war - Again, the text is under construction. There are 6 beautiful color photos, a black and white, one plan view drawing, and 4 side view drawings.
Production list - Literally the epitome of a resource. Laid out in grid fashion, every Do-24 produced has its own individual page you can open up with its own history and, where available, photos. It doesn't get any better than this.
Stamzeichen - A table matching up the Stamzeichen with the Werk Nr. Click on the Werk Nr. and you get the plane's history.
Technical data - Basic data for 4 variants.
Profiles - A dozen color profiles of 5 variants.
Units - Brief information is presented on each unit to use the Do-24. This appears to be under construction, as there are details presented for only about half the units listed.
Musea - Parts of or whole Do-24's can be found today in Australia, Germany, possibly the U.S., Spain, the Netherlands, underwater near Kirkeness, Norway, and underwater off the coast of France.
Stories - Seven episodes regarding the use of the Do-24.
Video - (1) Claude Dornier showing the new Do-24 V1 technical drawings. (2) Actual footage of the seatrials of the Do-24 V3 in
September 1937. (3) Do-24N-1 ; Werk Nr. 78 ; KD+GE during a take-off run.
Models - The Do-24 in kit and scratch-built form.
What's new - The usual list of additions to the site.
