The Crew of the Dora ({{langx|de|Besatzung Dora}}) is a 1943 German film about Luftwaffe pilots. It depicts a love triangle involving two of them being overcome by their participation in battle together.{{sfn|Grunberger|1971|p=384}}

The film was banned in 1944, because of the worsening war situation; while on leave one character inspires a girl with hopes of settling in the east, a dream that no longer appeared possible.{{sfn|Leiser|1974|p=65}}
