	Dornier Do 17 Medium Bomber - Military and Civilian Aircraft
		The Dornier Do 17 (sometimes referred to as "the Pencil" due to its fundamental shape) was a respect medium bomber class utilized by the German Luftwaffe in the Battle of Britain and throughout the Second World War.
		Initially, the Do 17 was a high-speed mail plane development which was furthered into a wartime machine by the addition of an internal bomb bay and machine gun positions for self-defense.
		The most notable branch of the Do 17 tree would have to be the series of Do 17 nightfighters produced with an extensive array of antennae and radar equipment.

	Dornier Do 17 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Dornier Do 17, sometimes referred to as the Bleistift ("pencil"), was a World War II light bomber produced by Dornier that was used at the beginning of the war by the Luftwaffe.
		In 1933 Dornier thought it would enter the market as well, and started the design of a fast twin-engine plane in response to a Lufthansa tender, and the Do 17 was the result.
		The original design sported a single tail, but in tests it proved to be marginally stable and a new twin-tail version was introduced, which also had the side effect of improving the field of fire for the rear gunner.

	Dornier Do 217 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Dornier Do 217 was a World War II heavy bomber designed from scratch as a replacement for the venerable Dornier Do 17.
		Dornier recognized shortcomings of its fast Dornier Do 17 well before the war.
		Much of Dornier's efforts in 1938-1940 were devoted to finding more powerful engines and improving the flying qualities, and when the BMW 801 radial engine was available the Do 217 really got into its stride and carried a heavier bomb load than any other Luftwaffe bomber of the time.

	The Dornier Do17
		Dornier constructed a number of aircraft that were later to be dubbed the "Flying Pencils" due mainly to the long thin outline of the fuselage.
		The first flight of the Dornier was on November 23rd 1934, and was rejected by Lufthansa and the prototypes were left in a hangar, only to be discovered a few years later by Robert Untucht who was the air ministry liaison officer, and a test pilot with Lufthansa.
		There were a number of variants of the Dornier Do17, but late in 1937 a variant was called for by the RLM (German Air Ministry) for a heavier variant that could carry a greater bombload, greater fuel capacity and be able to accomodate any range of power plants.

	::Dornier Do 17::
		The Dornier 17, along with the Heinkel III and Junkers Ju 88, were the mainstay of the German bombers during the Blitz on Britain and especially London.
		In the days of the Battle of Britain, the Dornier 17 had been an easy target for the Spitfires and Hurricanes of Fighter Command but had proved itself to be a valuable part of the Luftwaffe in campaigns that led up to this battle.
		It made its mark in the attack on Poland in September 1939 and its versatility was such that it was used as a bomber, reconnaissance plane and as a pathfinder by the Luftwaffe.

	Dornier Do 17 (thing)@Everything2.com
		The Do 17 began its inauspicious career as a civilian transport designed to satisfy a 1933 Lufthansa tender for a passenger/mail transport.
		The plane that the Dornier engineers completed in 1934 didn't impress the people at Lufthansa, as its fuselage was too narrow for use as a practical passenger craft.
		Dornier engineers used the Do 17 as a template for the updated Do 215 and highly-successful Do 217.

	Dornier Do 17
		Originally designed as a six passenger high speed transport, the Do 17 was turned into a bomber - the reverse of what usuually happened in the 1930s, when new bombers were disguised as airliners.
		The last of the slender models were the Do 17 M and N both with 1000 hp radial engines, and the similar Do 17 P for reconnaisance and the Do 17 Kb exported to Yugoslavia.
		After Germany invaded the latter country two of the fine Dorniers flew to join the RAF in Egypt, brining with them cargoes of gold bullion.

		Dornier, originally Dornier Metallbau rose to prominence in the 1920s in aviation and 1930s as a manufacturer of large flying boats, remarkable at the time for their all-metal construction.
		Dornier's most significant design before and during World War II was the Do 17 and its derivatives, which provided the Luftwaffe with a bomber and nightfighter, making use of forced labour.
		Dornier also developed the fastest piston-engined fighter of the war, the Do 335, which was too late to enter service.

	Dornier DO-17 Flying Pencil - 1209
		Though rather small and lighter than the other Luftwaffe bombers the Do 17 Z was like by its crews, because it was extremely maneuvreable, had no flight limitations (it could dive at full throttle) and had a reputation for getting home after being damaged in action.
		The Dornier still too a mauling in the Battle of Britain and were withdrawn to the Russian front in the spring of 1941.
		They carried a 20 mm MG FF cannon and four MG 17 machine guns in a solid nose and a few were fitted with infra-red or radar to help find enemy aircraft at night.

	Dornier Do 17
		As a result of the restrictions placed on Germany by the Versailles Treaty it was originally produced as a commercial passenger plane.
		At the beginning of the Second World War the Dornier Do 17, along with the Heinkel He111 and Junkers Ju 88A, were the main bombers used by the Luftwaffe.
		However, the Dornier was slower than the Junkers and could carry fewer bombs than the Heinkel and was withdrawn from service in 1942.

		Dornier's Do 17 was originally designed as a high-speed passenger aircraft and its slim lines and small cross-section gave it performance figures far in excess of any current bomber and close to the speeds of the fighters of the mid-1930s.
		With a crew of four and armed with up to eight rifle-calibre machine guns, the Dornier 17 was one of the most successful German bombers during the battle of Britain since its structural strength and manoeuvrability helped it to evade the RAF fighters.

		I used the fact that there are no surviving examples of the 17 to my advantage (i.e., use the details I like and no one can prove me wrong).
		Because Dornier built both the 17 and 217, and the landing gear and wing of the two planes were so similar, it seems logical that the gear bays would have shared many of the same features.
		The acelles were temporarily attached to the lower wing half and their outlines marked on the wing surface.

	Claude Dornier
		In 1932, Dornier turned his talents to military aircraft, developing two distinctive thin-fuselaged, twin-engined bombers, the DO-17 and the DO-217, which became mainstays of the Luftwaffe's bomber and reconnaissance fleet in World War II.
		Claude Dornier's vision coupled with his technological skills permitted him to lead the world in the advancement of metal aircraft.
		The Treaty of Versailles of 1919 which banned construction of engine-powered aircraft for 15 years in Germany, forced Dornier to look abroad in order to continue their aircraft business...Most of the Dornier Vals flyingboats came out of CMASA, including the two that were purchased by Roald Amundsen for his 1925 Arctic expedition.

	Dornier Do 215 B-4 Review by Peter Willicks (ICM 1/72)
		One reason was the shortage of the DB 601-engines which were neede for the production of the BF 109 and BF Another reason may have been the smaller bomb load of the Do 17/215 compared with the He 111 and the Ju 88.
		The main variants were the Do 215 B-1 and B-4, which had different camera equipment, the B-4 was distinguished by a large bulge for a Rb 20/30 camera under the forward fuselage.
		The cockpit details of this kit are a significant improvement compared with the Do 17 kit from Frog and Monogram, but leave enough space for those who want to add more.

		At the time of its introduction in 1936, the Dornier Do 17 E was a very modern and fast medium bomber.
		The Do 17 was mauled during this campaign, with massive losses and an inability to complete their assigned missions.
		The Dornier Do 215 was initially conceived as an export alternative to the Do 17, but the onset of war changed these plans.

	Do 17
		Designed in 1934, it was a postal service aircraft for Lufthansa, even though tests were secretly being made to use it as a bomber aircraft(remember — after the First World War, Germany was not allowed to constitute an air force, so all airplanes had to be used as if they were only for civil purposes).
		Delivered to the Luftwaffe, the Do 17 was engaged in combat during the Civil War in Spain (1936-1937).
		The Do 17 was only one of the famous German World War 2 planes.
