Catapult Dornier Hoisted Lufthansa Boreas
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment of liftoff for the Dornier Do J IIB, registration number D-AGAT, affectionately known as Boreas, as it is hoisted onto the catapult of the Schwabenland, a large seaplane tender, in preparation for takeoff. The Dornier Do J IIB, a versatile transport aircraft produced by the German aircraft manufacturer Dornier Flugzeugwerke, was a popular choice for both military and civilian applications due to its ability to operate from short runways and water surfaces. In this image, we see the intricate process of launching the aircraft from the Schwabenland's catapult, which involved carefully positioning the plane on the catapult, securing it in place, and then using the tension of the catapult's cables to launch the aircraft into the air. The Dornier Do J IIB, with its distinctive wing design and streamlined fuselage, can be seen poised and ready for takeoff, its engines roaring to life as it is hoisted into the air. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the world of aircraft transportation and the technical prowess required to launch large planes from a moving vessel. The Dornier Do J IIB, with its impressive capabilities and versatility, continues to be a beloved and iconic aircraft in aviation history.
