The type designation Dornier Do 28 comprises two different twin-engine STOL utility aircraft, manufactured by Dornier Flugzeugbau GmbH. Most of them served with the German Air Force and Marineflieger and other air forces around the world in the communications and utility role. This push-pull twin, the Do.335 Arrow, first flew in Oct. 1943 and had a top speed of 474 mph. However, the lack of engine availability limited its production, and it saw no real wartime action. After the war, Dornier survived on aeronautical consultancy services in Spain and elsewhere outside Germany.
