Dornier Do H
The Dornier Do H ''Falke'' was a German single-seat fighter designed by Claudius Dornier and built by ''Dornier Flugzeugwerke''. Although an advanced design for its time, being evaluated by the United States Navy as the Wright WP-1, it did not go into production.〔
==Development==
The company started to design a prototype fighter in the early 1920s based on earlier wartime designs like the Zeppelin-Lindau D.I. It was an all-metal high-wing cantilever monoplane, with the wing above the fuselage on four small struts. It had a conventional cantilever tail unit and a fixed tailskid landing gear. The pilot had an open cockpit just behind the trailing edge of the wing. The aircraft was powered by a Hispano-Suiza piston engine located in the nose. Two aircraft were built by the Swiss subsidiary of Dornier and three by S.D.C.M.P. in Italy,〔 to avoid restrictions on military aircraft production in Germany.〔Swanborough and Bowers 1976, p.496.〕 It first flew on 1 November 1922, but failed to go into production. One of the ''Falke''s was converted to a floatplane in 1923, powered by a 261 kW (350 hp) BMW IVa V-12 engine, as the Dornier Seefalke.
One ''Seefalke'' was shipped to the United States of America by the Wright Aeronautical Company who fitted it with a licence-built Wright-Hisso H-3 engine. It was evaluated by the United States Navy with the designation Wright WP-1.〔 It performed well, but the Navy considered the monoplane fighter too advanced for its needs.〔
