[edit]

The Dornier name is incorrect and strictly post-war, and is a result of Dornier's substantial self promotion (including several books). When it existed it was only known as the Zeppelin-Lindau Rs.IV, after the name of the company that built it, although (Do) or (Dornier) are sometimes suffixed to the name in official documents. Dornier was the chief designer, but it was not common practice to use the designer's name in that way. I don't think any of the Zeppelin-Lindau designs are sufficiently well known that they should go by a non-standard "popular" name, and all of the others should in fact be renamed to Zeppelin-Lindau.NiD.29 (talk) 16:30, 9 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
