I wonder what they would have thought of someone doing this:

Oh Jesse, Jesse .... I'm afraid the Do-24 couldn't be delivered by the American crews via the San Diego rather. It is a German kite although the Dutch Do-24s were made by the Dornier's Swiss subsidiary in Altenrhein (Dornier-Werke Altenrhein AG, popularly known as Doflug) mostly. After the final assembling in the Altenrhein factory these ready for flying aircraft with the Dutch national insignias were sent to the Friedrichshafen for the final trials and then sent to the Netherlands. And then to the Dutch East Indies by sea. I mean using cargo ships. Shipping by sea was necessary because transporting the aircraft by air over such a distance would have been very difficult and impractical. The aircraft were shipped in parts and then assembled locally in the Dutch East Indies. So the caption is still incorrect a little bit. According to the link below the one you should attach is "Dornier Do 24 seen on take-off. Missions of up to 10-12 hours could be carried out."
Here is the link to the footage the screen shot was taken from.

Tell that to the Dutchman who made the site. He is misinformed then.

But you are correct on where they were made. I will look for the site and send it to you. Thanks for catching that.
I have updated my post above a little bit. If the image is not from the IL2 Sturmovik site it means the the guy you mantioned copied the wrong caption. It should be the one from the top line but not from the bottom one below the pic.

I forget. Was the Hien the copy of the Mustang or the Bf 109?
Used a license built bf-109 E engine but was not a copy it was a homegrown design, the designer Takeo Doi had worked in Europe for many years thus its appearance being more European, it was influenced however by the design of the He-100I forget. Was the Hien the copy of the Mustang or the Bf 109?
