Dornier pursued the clandestine development of military aircraft, including the DoH Falke and Seefalke all metal cantilever high wing fighter monoplanes in 1922 and the DoD twin float torpedo bomber monoplane in 1926.
Manufactured at Altenrhein / Pisa, the Do.H was a relatively modern design. Fitted with floats, the Falks was available a sea-based fighter, too. Several engine variants existed.
In cooperation with Wright, the Wright H3 was fitted and the Falke offered to the US-Navy.
