Dornier Komet

The Dornier Komet (Comet), Merkur (Mercury), Do C, Do D, and Do T were a family of aircraft designed and manufactured by the German aircraft manufacturer Dornier Flugzeugwerke.

Developed during the 1920s, the aircraft was originally operated as a small airliner. Military variants were subsequently developed, including a heavily modified floatplane torpedo bomber model. The earliest aircraft in the series were basically landplane versions of the Delphin flying boat, and although the Delphin and Komet/Merkur series diverged from each other, design changes and refinements from one family were often incorporated into the other. All variants were braced high-winged single-engine monoplanes with conventional landing gear.
