WAKEN · 03-27-2006, 06:07 PM

Regarding the 2x600hp Dornier Do 18D rather than the 2x880hp Do 18G:

what was the max. speed?
What was the range?
What was the weight empty?

Thanks,

Neil

Thanks. I think the stats you have got are for the Do 18G. The Do 18D had Jumo 205C 600hp engines and an armament of 2 x 7.92mm MG 15s.

Neil
