Dornier Do 27
(Hebrew name: Dror)
The Dornier Do 27 was the first military aircraft made in quantity by post-WWII West Germany. It entered service with the Light Squadron in 1964, but was not shown to the Israeli public until 1972. Because it was German made (part of the West German reparations deal) aircraft, it was a sensitive issue.
