Almost 280 Do-24s were built in various versions between 1937 and 1945. They were used by the Luftwaffe during WWII for long-range SAR & reconnaissance and by the EdA until the 1960s. This plane is a composite from the fuselage of Aviolanda-built WNr. 3385, mated with the original wing of the Do 24 that became the Do 24 ATT, WNr 3404. It was previously a gate-guard at the Dornier factory at Oberpfaffenhofen but is displayed at the Deutsches Museum - Flugwerft Schleissheim with EdA markings from 1960-1969.
