Iren Dornier, grandson of the legendary aircraft engineer Claude Dornier, first sits in the cockpit of the Do-24 as a young 12 year-old boy. He decides then, that he will pilot this flying boat himself one day. A great dream, especially since the machine will be taken out of service, ending up as an exhibit in a museum. Iren Dornier manages to buy her back and goes on to prove that the virtually impossible really can be achieved if we set our minds to it.
In risky conditions he makes this unique example of a type Do-24 flying boat flyable once again and sets off with it around the world. On over 470 pages the journey comes together in this spectacular picture book, containing more than 250 photographs in colour and duotone.
