Greek Do.22 Kg

The Do.22 was a German seaplane torpedo bomber that was never used by the Germans and never operated as a torpedo bomber; in fact it was not always a seaplane either. 12 were sold to Greece (Kg variant), 4 to Finland (Kl) and 12 to the Kingdom of Yugoslavia (Kj). In Greek service, they were first used in naval convoy escort missions. Later, 8 were fitted with conventional landing gear instead of sea-landing floating system, because the Greeks were desperately short of army cooperation aircraft. They were also expected to be used for night bombing missions against the Italian forces at Tepeleni, but only one such mission was carried out. One of several that can be found in: http://greek-war-equipment.blogspot.com

Very nice looking aircraft.Am not sure about the forward view though,seems that low sitting wing may hinder the pilot?
