Claude Honoré Désiré Dornier

Flying Ship DoX

Claude Honoré Désiré Dornier was an employee of Ferdinand Graf von Zeppelin from 1910 and was given his own department within the Zeppelin Group, the DO department. In 1917 he became a partner and managing director of a branch factory, Zeppelin-Werk Lindau GmbH, which he took over completely in 1932 and from which the Dornier-Werke developed. Due to the requirements of the Treaty of Versailles, many boats were built in Altenrhein, Switzerland, including the DoX.
