Lieut. Clarence H. ("Dutch") Schildhauer, U. S. Naval Reserve Corps, who had been guest pilot of the DO-X since she left Lake Constance, called attention to the need for a special type of personnel on large flying boats. "None but an experienced seaman can command," said he. "The question of piloting skill is no more important with large planes than with small, but the need for commanders with stamina and executive experience in a degree comparable to the present masters of ocean liners is of paramount importance. . . ."

General Motors reputedly agreed to pay $250,000 to Dr. Dornier for U. S. rights (TIME, Nov. 4, 1929) but did not go beyond considering factory sites. Two four-motored Dornier super-Wals were imported and sold to Stout D & C Lines for use on the Great Lakes. But the Department of Commerce, which requires similar performance of seaplanes and land-planes, found fault with the Dornier take-offs and landings...
