Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Rohrbach Ro II was an all-metal, 4-seat reconnaissance and bomber flying boat, designed and produced in Germany in 1923.Founded in 1923 by Dr.-Ing. Adolf Rohrbach, the Rohrbach Metall-Flugzeugbau GmbH designed and built many aircraft using light-alloy stressed-skin construction methods that were at the cutting edge of aircraft design in the 1920s. His previous experience with light alloys at the Zeppelin-Staaken factory served Rohrbach well when designing the Rohrbach stressed-skin aircraft. After designing the unbuilt 'RoI' twin-engined flying boat, Rohrbach developed the 'Rohrbach RoII' flying boat as an all-metal shoulder-winged monoplane flying boat with two tractor engines mounted in nacelles above the wings on struts.
