Developed by one of the most famous German airplane manufacturing companies at the request of Yugoslavia, the Dornier DO-22 was never adopted by the Luftwaffe and was condemned to obscurity as one of the peripheral types. With only 29 manufactured in total, including the sole prototype, DO-22 was not a major success for Dornier-Werke.
As such, it did not get the attention it deserved in the history of aviation. Its distinct service with the air forces of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, Kingdom of Greece and Finland was to date only covered superficially. No written work was published compiling and shedding light on the entire history, development, use by the three countries and the subsequent fate of the Dornier DO-22.

This book has a copyright date of 2017. It is hard-bound with a paper jacket and comes in a clear re-sealable cello envelope. It is 184 pages in 8" x 11 3/4" page format.
There are more than 250 archive photos in the books. Including 10 of the cockpit interior with names of the instrucments, 51 illustrations out of a tech manual, 14 data lists, 8 appendexes and a bibliography.
There are 2 loose folded large sheets printed on both sides. Each with a 4-view of the DO-22 in 1/32nd scale tucked into the book.
For color illustrations there is:
A DO-22 in Yugoslavian markings as a 2-view showing it on floats.
Also ones isn Yugoslavian marking on floats as 2 more 2-views, a 3-view and a 4-view.

There are 17 line drawings in the book in 1/72nd and 1/48th scales.
There is an advertisement at the front of the book that shows 72 small black and white cover arts of other Kagero books about aircrafts. In the back of the book is another advertisement, this time in color for the books: "BF-110", "Me-262", "Air Combat During Arab-Israeli War" and "The Bulgarian A.F. in WWII".
This book will be of great interest to aviation historians and modelers alike.
Highly recommended.
