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.

 Do-17 Facts
Only in the summer of 1941 when more Ju-88's and the totally new Dornier 217 entering service, were surviving Dornier 17z's used in secondary missions or passed on the allied countries, like the Finns, Croats, and Rumanians.
While 1943 seems to be the last year any groups of 17's or 215 operated together in large formations, there is strong evidence to suggest remaining types continued to serve till wars end.
Dornier and the Luftwaffe recognized the 17's limits, which is why work began on a new design using the best parts from the old deign.

I had one of the fl hard-rubber recognition models, a Dornier Do 215 I think, and a solid aluminum B-29 on a pedestal.
He wanted to do a book on the B-32, and we decided to collaborate on a research and writing project to produce a book which would tell the story of the plane.
I didn't lose interest in Japanese aviation while doing the book on the B-32, and on several trips to the air force archives at Maxwell AFB from 1978 to 1989 I managed to search for and find many intelligence documents on Japanese aviation and airplanes.

The first ten Do 335A-0's were delivered for testing in May. By late 1944 the Do 335A-1 was on the production line.
