For your information, Do 18D-1 W.Nr. 714 was noted in service as late as April 27, 1944, when this aircraft was transferred from Kampfbeobachter Schule Parow to Flieger Zieldivision (target towing).
A total of 170 Do 18's of all versions including prototypes and civil aircraft were built. The last being delivered in September 1940. The Do 18 saw frontline service up to early 1942. However, the aircraft survived in numbers by the training establishments and a few with the Seenotdienst, well into 1944. By the end of September 1944, 28 aircraft remained on Luftwaffe strength.
