DORNIER DO X THE STORY OF CLAUDE DORNIER'S LEGENDARY FLYING BOAT
Book Type: C,O, by Volker Behr, This book is part of the Schiffer Limited releases. All sellers that purchase books from Schiffer must sign an agreement that they will not list these books below retail. Therefore it is listed at list price but for these books I'm offereing free media shipping within the US. Outside the US please wait for an invoice, I will invoice shipping cost less a $4 credit. Though only three were produced in late-1920s/early-1930s Germany, the Dornier Do X was the largest flying boat of its time and flew passengers on international flights in extreme comfort during the pre-World War II years. Powered by twelve engines, the aircraft could accommodate over 100 passengers and crew and included sleeping and dining areas. This detailed and highly illustrated book covers the design, development and construction of the Do X, then explores its initial testing and short but historic use as an international airliner, and lastly discusses the ultimate fate of all three examples. The superb collection of photographs includes rare images of the Do X’s construction, flights, crew, and luxurious fittings – including many of its interior features, furniture, vintage ephemera and place settings. 232 pages, 292 photos.
