Serengeti darf nicht sterben
Dornier's Do 27 was the first German production aircraft after the end of WWII.
Primarily intended for the newly formed German Forces, its excellent STOL capabilities made it popular
in several civilian roles.
D-ENTE was used by Michael and Dr. Bernhard Grzimek as a camera platform for the Oscar awarded
documentation movie "Serengeti must not die" and scientifical studies resulting in the founding of
Serengeti National Park. It crashed after a collision with a vulture resulting in jamming the elevator.
Both M. Grzimek and the vulture were killed in this accident.
