There she has remained while Dornier officials tried without success to interest U. S. groups in chartering the boat for coastwise service. Last week it was announced that the DO-X will be flown back to Germany in May. Meanwhile her commander, Capt. Franz Christiansen, and all but two members of her crew sailed to Germany for a vacation...
