DFS Seeadler


The DFS Seeadler was a German flying boat sailplane designed by Hans Jacobs of the Deutsche Forschungsanstalt für Segelflug. It was version of the 1935 DFS Rhönadler, with a new fuselage and strongly gulled wings to keep them clear from spray. The aircraft was first flown in the summer of 1935, test piloted by Hanna Reitsch, and towed by a Dornier Do 12.
