Historical description:

The Dornier Do 22 is a German reconnaissance-bomber floatplane from the interwar period and early years of World War II. Designed primarily for export, it was used mainly by the air forces of Greece, Yugoslavia, and Finland between 1938 and 1945. The Do 22 featured a distinctive design with an open crew cockpit and the ability to operate both from water surfaces and land (in floatplane versions). For example, Greek Do 22s took part in defensive actions during the Italian invasion in 1940, carrying out reconnaissance and bombing missions over the Ionian and Aegean Seas.
