The Dornier Do 22 was a German high-wing seaplane with a fixed floating landing gear from the interwar period and World War II. The prototype’s flight took place in 1938. Serial production was carried out in the years 1938–1939. About thirty aircraft of this type were built during its course. Training was provided by a single Hispano-Suiza 12Ybrs engine of 860 HP. The length of the aircraft was 13.1 metres with a wingspan of 16.2 metres. The deck armament consisted of 2–3 machine guns of 7.62 or 7.92 mm. The machine could also carry a bomb load weighing up to 200 kg or a torpedo weighing 800 kg.
The Do 22 aircraft was developed at the Dornier Flugzeugwerke aeronautical factory based on a prototype machine designated Do C3 by the same manufacturer. The Dornier Do 22 was designed mainly with European export markets in mind, and therefore had a simplified and rather conservative design, but also showed at least good performance and good flight properties. The aircraft was purchased in small quantities by Greece, Finland, Yugoslavia, and Latvia. Machines of this type participated in World War II to a limited extent. It should be added that the manufacturer also created a version with a wheeled chassis (Do 22 L), but it did not go into production. Finland, on the other hand, equipped some of its Do 22s with skis and used them on such a chassis until 1944.
