The Sad Story of the Flying Boat

Imagine a super-duper big airplane that could land on water! That was the Dornier Do 24. It was like a giant bird with four engines, ready to fly. On March 5, 1945, this special plane was taking off from a place called Kępa. It was a very important flight because it was carrying lots of children.

The Dornier Do 24 was supposed to fly safely, but something terrible happened just after it left the ground. It crashed into a lake called Resko Przymorskie. It was a very sad day because almost everyone on the plane, including all the children, lost their lives. Only one person managed to survive this terrible accident.

This flying boat wasn't just any airplane. It was used by the German Air Force during a time of war. These planes were strong and could travel long distances over water. The Dornier Do 24 was known for its size and its ability to be a rescue plane, but in this case, it was part of a tragic event.

Even though this happened a long, long time ago, it's important to remember. It reminds us that accidents can happen, and it's a sad story about the children who were on that flight. Learning about it helps us understand history and be thankful for safety.
