By 1941, the Do Wal was slow and extremely stable. Although very limited in number, these qualities made it an excellent platform for transitioning flight cadets from single-engine to multi-engine seaplanes. I was fortunate enough to interview a former MLD pilot who trained on the Do Wal at Morokrembangan seaplane base. He told me that he once saw one fly backwards...slowly...in a strong wind!
The dornier Wal is so cool! They actually had a bunch of different sizes and made them for many many years. They had ships in the Mid-Atlantic for them to refuel from and then they would launch him again from a catapult. Very well-made well thought-out aircraft. It would even stand up today without looking to antique. Get rid of those two big engines on top put a couple of turboprops on there it would be sweet.
