Arguably the most graceful looking of the Dornier flying boats, the Do 26 had a
gull wing and retractable floats. The push/pull arrangement is interesting as
the rear propellers are hinged to rotate upwards 10° on take-off to clear spray. Two Do 26's
were shot down by Hurricanes of 46 Sqn on 28 May 1940 during the Norwegian
campaign.
