The Dornier Do 18 was designed for two roles, to be a medium range maritime reconnaissance aircraft and a mail plane flying boat. It was built to replace the Dornier Wal for the Deutsche Lufthansa. The first prototypes flew during March 1935 then later in 1938 most of the 148 production planes were assigned to military service. The Do 18 had many encounters during the early conflicts between the Kreigsmarine and the Royal Navy, in and around the North Sea.

  • The Dornier Do 18 was a development of the Do 16 flying boat. It was developed for the Luftwaffe, but Lufthansa received five aircraft and used these for tests between the Azores and the North American continent in 1936 and on their mail route over the South Atlantic from 1937 to 1939. On 27–29 March 1938, a "Do 18 W" established a seaplane record flying non-stop a straight distance of 8,391 km (5,214 mi) from Start Point, Devon to Caravelas in Brazil.
