Dornier, originally Dornier Metallbau rose to prominence in the 1920s in aviation and 1930s as a manufacturer of large flying boats, remarkable at the time for their all-metal construction. These included the Wal ("Whale") of 1924 and the colossal Do X. During this period, Dornier built its aircraft outside Germany to avoid the restrictions placed on German aircraft manufacturers by the Treaty of Versailles. Foreign factories licence-building Dornier products included CMASA and Piaggio in Italy, CASA in Spain, Kawasaki in Japan, and Aviolanda in the Netherlands. Once the Nazi government came to power and abandoned the treaty's restrictions, production resumed in Germany.

Dornier's most significant design before and during World War II was the Do 17 and its derivatives, which provided the Luftwaffe with a bomber and nightfighter, making use of forced labour. Dornier also developed the fastest piston-engined fighter of the war, the Do 335, which was too late to enter service.
