The Do 27 was the first aircraft built after the war in Germany, flying for the first time in 1956. Reliable construction, sound design, versatile usage, economical operation and extraordinary short take off capabilities are the obvious features of the Do 27. One of the most striking versions was the Do 27 flown in East-Africa during the late fifties. It was operated over Serengeti National Park for counting wildlife, photography and observation. Professor Grizmek conceived the original painting of the airplane which will now be used in the same livery again.
