Current examples: F-15E Strike Eagle, F / A-18 Hornet, Sukhoi Su-34 ' Fullback ', Chengdu J-10, Xian JH-7, Dassault-Breguet Mirage 2000, and the Panavia Tornado ; historical examples: Ilyushin Il-2 Shturmovik, Heinkel He 111, Dornier Do 17, Dornier Do 215, Junkers Ju 88, Junkers Ju 87 Stuka, P-47 Thunderbolt, Hawker Typhoon, and F-4 Phantom II.

In 1935, this led to the Dornier Do 19 and Junkers Ju 89 prototypes, although both were underpowered.

In the meantime German designs such as the Messerschmitt Bf 109, Heinkel He 111, Junkers Ju 87 Stuka, and Dornier Do 17, performed very well.

This led to a rush on the part of the RLM to produce the Junkers Ju 86, Heinkel He 111 and Dornier Do 17 before a proper evalutation was made.

By the summer of 1939, the Luftwaffe had nine Jagdgeschwader ( fighter wings ) mostly equipped with Messerschmitt Bf 109, four ' Zerstörergeschwader ( destroyer wings ) equipped with the Messerschmitt Bf 110 heavy fighter, 11 Kampfgeschwader ( bomber wings ) equipped with mainly the Heinkel He 111 and the Dornier Do 17Z, and four Sturzkampfgeschwader ( dive bomber wings ).

The current Heinkel He 115 and Dornier Do 18 flying boats were too slow and short ranged.

The Dornier Do 217 would have been ideal, but suffered production problems.

In March 1990 two radar equipped Dornier / HAL Do 228-101s were ordered to form a maritime surveillance element by July 1991.

* 1943 – World War II: First flight of the Dornier Do 335 " Pfeil ".

In 1925, accompanied by Lincoln Ellsworth, pilot Hjalmar Riiser-Larsen, and three other team members, Amundsen took two Dornier Do J flying boats, the N-24 and N-25 to 87 ° 44 ′ north.

The Dornier Do 31 got as far as three experimental aircraft before cancellation in 1970.

The others were the VFW-Fokker VAK 191B light fighter and reconnaissance aircraft, and the Dornier Do 31E-3 ( troop ) transport.

* Dornier Do N Design for Japanese as Kawasaki Ka 87 ( 1926 )

* Dornier Do O Wal Custom built verson of Do J ( 1924 )

* Dornier Do P ( 1930 )

* Dornier Do R. 2 and R. 4 Superwal ( 1924 )

* Dornier Do S ( 1930 )

* Dornier Do T ( Komet / Murkur converted to Air Ambulance )

* Dornier Do U ( Cancelled civil variant of Do Y )

* Dornier Do 19, four-engined Ural bomber heavy bomber contender ( prototype )

Richthofen was dubious about the employment of heavy bombers, and wanted the projects developing types like the Dornier Do 19 cancelled.

* Dornier Do 335, an experimental Nazi heavy fighter

Examples of past military applications include the late WWII Dornier Do 335 heavy fighter, which included a jettisonable tail to facilitate bailing out, and the Cessna O-2, a militarised version of the Skymaster used for observation and forward air control during the Vietnam war.

* Dornier sent its Dornier Do 16 Wal ( in Japan made by Kawasaki as the KDN-1 ), Dornier Do N built as the Kawasaki Army Type 87 heavy bomber, and the Dornier Do C.

This unit employed the medium range Dornier Do 217K-2 bomber on almost all of its attack missions, though in a few cases toward the end of its deployment history, Dornier Do 217K-3 and M-11 variants were also used.

The Dornier was the first example of this new type of bomber to fall into the hands of British Intelligence.

One idea similar to Mistel-Gespann was to have a Heinkel He 177 bomber carry a Dornier Do 217, powered with an additional Lorin-Staustrahltriebwerk ( Lorin-ramjet ), as far as possible over the Atlantic before releasing it.

The Heinkel He 111 was added to the bomber fleet, along with the Dornier Do 17 ( E and F types ).

* Dornier Do 11, ( Do F ) medium bomber, 1931

* Dornier Do 13, medium bomber, ( Development of Do 11 ), 1933

* Dornier Do 15, prototype for a passenger plane and bomber ( Do Y )

* Dornier Do 23, medium bomber, ( development of ( Do 13 / 11 )

* Dornier Do 215, bomber, night-fighter

* Dornier Do 217, bomber, night-fighter

The Dornier Do 13 was a short-lived 1930s German bomber design.

The Condor Legion by this time has two Messerschmitt Bf 109 groups of four squadrons, two Heinkel He 51 groups of two squadrons, four bomber groups of three squadrons equipped with Heinkel He 111s and Junkers Ju 52s, and a reconnaissance group of three squadrons equipped with Heinkels and Dornier Do 17s.

* Late July – In the first use of airborne radar for interception of an enemy aircraft, a Flying Officer Ashfield flying a British Bristol Blenheim IF night fighter destroys a German Dornier Do 17 bomber.

** A Luftwaffe Dornier Do 217 bomber badly damages the U. S. Navy light cruiser with a Fritz X off Salerno, Italy, knocking her out of service for a year.

* August 9 – Flying a Dornier Do 215B-5 night fighter, Luftwaffe Oberleutnant Ludwig Becker achieves Germanys first aerial victory employing airborne radar, using a Lichtenstein radar to detect and close with a British Vickers Wellington bomber participating in a raid on Hamburg, Germany, before shooting down the Wellington.
