Very nice additions, good to see Piasecki's helicopters getting the FD scale treatment too.

Dornier Do 22 in Yugoslav service
Before WWII Yugoslavia was the initial export customer for the Dornier Do 22.
Yugoslavia purchased 12 aircraft for coastal patrol along the Adriatic coast, with the aircraft replacing the aging Dornier Do D bis floatplanes of the Yugoslav Hydroplane Command. As the threat of war increased Yugoslavia attempted to purchase more aircraft, however Germany refused. With the axis invasion in April 1941 the Dorniers were used successfully, primarily against Italian forces, and 3 aircraft conducted a raid on mainland Italy, taking the battle back to the Italians.
As Yugoslavia collapsed 8 of the 12 Dorniers were able to evacuate to Greece and then on to Egypt with British forces. The Dorniers remained in service in Egypt in No.2 (Yugoslav) Squadron, having received a camouflage splash of RAF green over their Yugoslav grey, and a new style of almost-RAF roundel. The aircraft remained in service until 1942, with the fleet dwindling as aircraft were canabalised to provide spares to keep the others running. The final flight for 2 Squadron's Dorniers was in April 1942, although it appears 307 was temporarily brought back on charge for a mission of which no details remain.
