Representation of the Dornier Do 27 Aircraft

The Dornier Do 27 is a German post-war multi-purpose STOL aircraft, designed in the late 1950s and widely used in various roles: reconnaissance, liaison, transport, as well as patrol and medical missions. It began its service in 1956, becoming one of the most frequently exported and used light aircraft of its kind. The versions included in this set represent aircraft used during numerous conflicts and policing operations in countries such as Israel, South Africa, and Portugal — especially in Portuguese colonies during the decolonization wars in Africa (1960s and 1970s, the Cold War era).
