Initially designed as a high-speed mail aeroplane and airliner, the
Do 17 first made an appearance as a military aircraft in the
Spanish Civil War, both as a bomber and in reconnaissance roles. In
the early stages of World War II, it, together with the Heinkel He
111, formed the backbone of the German bomber arm over Poland,
France, Belgium and the Low Countries, and saw action in almost
every major campaign in this period. However, by the start of the
Battle of Britain, the Do 17's limited range and small bomb load
meant that it was ripe for replacement by the Ju 88. Though it
performed well at lower altitudes, the model suffered heavy losses
during raids, particularly during the Blitz and were increasingly
phased out. This fully illustrated study uses detailed full-colour
artwork and authoritative text from an expert author to tell the
full operation story of one of Nazi Germany's best light bombers
from the early years of World War II.
