First flown in 1938, the Do 26 was a transatlantic mailplane with two pairs of engines in tandem. All six built ended up in the Luftwaffe and the V1 prototype, Seeadler, is seen here disembarking troops during the invasion in Norway. This one and the V3 were destroyed by RAF Hurricanes in the Rombaksfjord near Narvik on 28 May 1940. This photo was added on 1 March 2019, and has since been viewed 878 times. |
