Letter from Germany

Sorry, but the Dornier Do 29 was an Experimental Aircraft, designed and build at Dornier in 1958 after the WW2. It was a testbed for extreme short take-off and landing. It had two 270 hp Lycoming under the wings with backwards looking down tilting propellers. You can find the German article here:

The weblinks will show also a Foto.


I could not reconstruct which A/C the author had in mind, describing the current Do29 article in the english Wikipedia. Possibly he means the Do 217 -- 84.158.111.241 ( talk) 16:18, 12 May 2008 (UTC) aka Dorniote1 reply

The only mention of a Do 29 project during or before WW2 I could find on the web (not copied from this article) was in a list of German Military Aircraft Designations, which lists it a bomber, not a (heavy) fighter. I propose rewriting the article to be about the post-WW VSTOL plane. Lars T. ( talk) 23:40, 17 May 2008 (UTC) reply
