The Wal (“Whale” in German) took its maiden flight on November 6, 1922 and was introduced in 1923. Costruzioni Meccaniche Aeronautiche, Pisa, Italy produced the first Wal. This was due to restrictions on aircraft production in Germany, imposed by The Treaty of Versailles. Dornier started building the Wal in Germany around 1931, but it was discontinued in 1936.

Two engines power the Dornier Doj Wal in tractor-pusher configuration. They are mounted in a nacelle just above the main wings. The Dornier do J Wals have a variety of engines that work in tandem, including the Rolls-Royce Eagle IX V-12 with 355 horsepower, 500-horsepower Napier Lion V and the BMW V12x which turns out 600hp.
