The Dornier N was a bomber developed in Germany during the 1920s, intended for production in Japan. Production commenced in 1927, resulting in 28 units manufactured under the designation Kawasaki Ka 87 (Type 87 Night Bomber). This land-based aircraft utilized a parasol-wing configuration supported by struts and featured a twin-engine push-pull arrangement housed in a nacelle mounted above the wing, a design influenced by Dornier's experience with flying boats. A number of these bombers saw active service in Manchuria in 1931.
