This Italian-built Wal was delivered to Lufthansa as D-1648. The photo is from a Dutch postcard captioned 'Dornier Wal flying boat - licence: Aviolanda, Papendrecht', but this Dutch company only built the military variant and had nothing to do with this airframe. Photo from: Rijksmuseum Amsterdam

The Spanish government ordered the first six Dornier Wal flying boats, built at Marina di Pisa in Italy, off the drawing board. In 1926 three of these made a return flight to Equatorial Guinea, including W-5 which was at that time named Cataluña. W-5 was written off after a landing accident at Melilla in 1929. A man seems to be riding in the engine bay forward of the radiator here. IWM could not identify this aircraft and the only link with Britain seem to be the Rolls-Roye Eagle engines.

Photographed not in the Netherlands East Indies but at the scenic seaplane base on Texel Island. D-41 to D-46 were improved Wal F aircraft with keeled hulls, increased span and Lorraine 12E Courlis engines. Except D-42, these remained in service in the NEI at the time of the Japanese invasion. D-41 was reportedly damaged and D-43 shot down by Japanese aircraft during a training flight on 3 February 1942. Photo from: Nederlands Instituut voor Militaire Historie

In the defence plans for the Netherlands East Indies, the Dornier Wal played an important role, scouting for the navy's submarines whilst operating from forward locations. The second aircraft is said to be D-40. By 1938, the Dornier Do 24 was entering service and D-39 and D-40 were both struck off charge in January 1939.

Aircraft of the German Airline Pilot School (DVS) flown by Walter von Gronau. Von Gronau and crew flew it from Sylt to New York City in 47 hours in August 1930 via the Faroes, Iceland, Greenland and Labrador.

By late 1927 the SANA company operated nine Dornier Wal Cabina passenger flying boats on the Genova - Rome and Rome - Naples - Palermo routes. Services to Tripoli, Libya via Syracuse and Barcelona via Marseille were inaugurated during 1928. Dornier produced the Wal in Marina di Pisa at this time. This aircraft was reportedly assembled by Piaggio. The c/n is also quoted as 81. Note fleet number in Roman numerals! Photo from: ETH-Bibliothek Zürich

This Wal was to be added to Roald Amundsen's aborted North Pole flight with N-24 and N-25 as a gift from Benito Mussolini. This did not go ahead and Mussolini suggested that Antonio Locatelli's crew should fly to the North Pole on their own. Instead, Locatelli left Marina di Pisa on 25 July 1924 for a North Atlantic crossing, more or less joining the US Army Douglas World Cruisers on the final legs of their circumnavigation of the globe. The Wal had to make an emergency landing off Greenland on 21 August. The crew was rescued after four days by the American picket ship USS Richmond.

This Wal was to be added to Roald Amundsen's aborted North Pole flight with N-24 and N-25 as a gift from Benito Mussolini. This did not go ahead and Mussolini suggested that Antonio Locatelli's crew should fly to the North Pole on their own. Instead, Locatelli left Marina di Pisa on 25 July 1924 for a North Atlantic crossing, more or less joining the US Army Douglas World Cruisers on the final legs of their circumnavigation of the globe. The Wal had to make an emergency landing off Greenland on 21 August. The crew was rescued after four days by the American picket ship USS Richmond.

From 1926 the Wal was the mainstay of the Dutch navy's air fleet in the Netherlands East Indies, now Indonesia. The type was built under licence by Aviolanda in Papendrecht, Holland. Seen here off the fishing village of Volendam, D-21 was one of three to be flown - rather than shipped - to the Far East in April-May 1929. D-22 crashed in Baghdad.
