Dornier Do 215 postcard


A postcard issued in 1939 to mark the building of this light bomber, reconnaissance aircraft and night fighter used in WW2. Dornier originally produced them for export but the first airplanes which were produced for the Swedish Air Force were stopped from going there in August 1939 due to the political situation. The 18 extant aircraft were pressed into Luftwaffe service upon the outbreak of WW2. A total of 105 were produced by Dornier over 1939-1941.
