| | Dornier Do 17 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) |
 | | Three prototypes of this Dornier Do 17 were built in 1934, but although the airline carried out an evaluation programme early in the following year, the aircraft's slim fuselage provided such limited passenger accommodation that all three were returned to the manufacturer. |
 | | The Do 17Z-1 had an additional nose-mounted MG 15 but was underpowered and restricted to a 1,102 Ib (500 kg) bombload; this situation was rectified in the Do 17Z-2 which with 1,000 hp (746 kW) Bramo 323P engines could carry a 2,205 lbs (1000 kg) bombload and up to eight MG 15 machine guns. |
 | | Export versions of the Do 17Z were planned under the general designation Do 215, the first to be developed being the Do 215A-1, with 1,075-hp (802-kW) Daimler-Benz DB 601A engines, which was ordered by Sweden in 1939. |
