The record-breaking 1924 Wal was used on many long distance flights and the Do X set records for its immense size and weight. Dornier's airliners, including the Komet and Merkur that were used by Luft Hansa and other European carriers during the 1920s and early 30s.

Edward Bishop was the author of a series of popular historical books on the Royal Air Force. A Fleet Street journalist with an engaging shrewdness wrote The Wooden Wonder (1959), the story of the Mosquito, which had been dismissed as a hopeless anachronism by the air establishment because it had a wooden frame. The book's greatest admirer was Lord Beaverbrook, the newspaper proprietor. On hearing that Bishop was working next on the Battle of Britain he immediately summoned him to his penthouse flat at midnight. "Sit down on that sofa where many great men have sat," said "The Beaver". "Who?" asked his bemused guest. "Lloyd George, Churchill . . . and now Edward Bishop," came the reply. Beaverbrook, who had been Minister of Aircraft Production when the German invasion was threatened, offered Bishop a wide range of contacts; and later he paid the then large sum of £4,000 for the rights to serialize The Battle of Britain. Again and again the British fighters tore into the huge formations of heavily escorted German bombers. Six Hurricanes against seventy Dorniers; twelve Spitfires against one hundred Heinkels. It was summer, 1940, and "The Few," a dwindling, gallant company of Royal Air Force fighter pilots, were all that stood between Britain and defeat. More
