Perhaps the first fighter assigned by the RLM an identifier, this biplace fighter is comparable to the biplanes of the late 20s equally, and almost the same performance as her American counterpart Berliner Joyce P-16.

The cockpit layout is still the same as the civilian variant (its predecessor), except for the addition of more levers.
So, VR for the pilot's camera.

Overview

(from ugolok neba/airwar.ru)

Designed in 1931 by German designer Claude Dornier, the two-seat fighter was originally designated the Do C1. It was a high-wing aircraft equipped with a 650 hp BMW VI and armed with four 7.92 mm MG 08/15 machine guns (two in the front and two at the observer on a mobile turret). Two copies of the aircraft were built (WerkNr. 226, D-1592 and WerkNr. 227, D-1898), which were tested in 1931 at the RDL Erprobungsstelle.

A little later, on one of the test aircraft, the engine was replaced with a more powerful Hispano-Suiza 12 Xbrc (690 hp). The final version of the fighter, designated Do C1, was obtained after replacing the engines with a 525 hp Rolls-Royce Kestrel IIIS. After testing the aircraft, the military abandoned its serial purchase. A little later, the Reichsluftfahrtministerium (RLM) changed the designation of the aircraft to Do.10 .
