From the master of the seaplane: Mr Dornier:

The Do-26
Total production: 6 machines of which only 3 were delivered with a civil scheme.
As this one comes from a german site, the tail has been censored a bit (but everyone knows that these Lufthansa tail colors came with the swastika...)

www.flightsim.com for the Do-26 (search for Dornier 26)

Additional gauges file is there too, but this site has the same file, and 3 other Dornier boats which are quite interesting
