Short historical description of the design:

The Dornier Do J Wal is a legendary German seaplane designed by Claude Dornier in 1922, produced in many countries and in numerous variants until the 1930s. It featured a flying boat configuration, metal construction, and a twin engine mounted in a nacelle above the wing. Spain used these aircraft mainly in the navy for coastal patrols, sea rescue, and transport during the interwar period and the civil war (1926–1940). The Spanish version of the model was distinguished by characteristic paintwork and minor armament and onboard equipment modifications.
