[de] Dornier Do A

Unter den Bezeichnungen Dornier Do A, Libelle I und II, baute der in Manzell am Bodensee ansässige Flugzeughersteller Dornier Metallbauten in den Jahren 1921 bis 1929 insgesamt 14 Stück der einmotorigen Kleinflugboote, von denen die meisten exportiert wurden, unter anderem nach Schweden, Brasilien, Neuseeland, Australien, Japan und den Fidschi-Inseln. Hinzu kamen zwei von CMASA in Marina di Pisa hergestellte Exemplare.[1] Aufgrund ihrer Größe waren die Libellen das ideale Verkehrsmittel für gewässerreiche Gebiete, da sie auch auf kleinen Seen und Flüssen landen und wieder starten konnten.
