The sole Do 18 converted with BMW 132 radial engines, probably seen on Lake Constance from where it first flew in this new Do 18L form on 21 November 1939. From January 1940 it underwent military testing at Travemünde coded CO-JF. The regular Do 18 suffered from its weak Jumo diesel engines but the more powerful radial in the pusher position gave cooling problems.
