Well they have of course taken an actual 1944-built Do-24 and put new wings, engines, cockpit and landing gear on it to become the ATT demonstrator.

Dornier really nailed down the flying boats by 1920/30s. In my opinion, Dornier Do J Wal is not only of the greatest flying boats of all time, it is among the greatest aircraft of all time.

I'm afraid I don't see the beauty in that Orca design. Now the interwar Dorniers, that's a different story. 

The Л-65 is damned sexy.

They really loved that incinerated engine arrangement, didn't they? They did the same with the 335.

Yes, Dornier seems to have got it working better than the others. I don't remember many other flying boats using that configuration.

Without the jets coming in, Do-335 might have heralded the future of piston-engined designs, instead of being just a curiosity.

Incinerated?
