Do 18 vs. Bv 138
Common sources claim that the Do 18 was supposed "obsolete" and that the Bv 138 replaced it because of that. However, why is the Do 18 supposedly more "obsolete" than the Bv 138?the references I have indicate that the Bv 138 wasn't much faster and had actually considerably shorter range. And if for example Eric Brown's comments are reliable, the Do 18 was much more pleasant to fly and handle.
