Re: photographs of crashed Do17 U5+DA on ebay.
 

Hello,

You guys are all wonderful, with the help that you've been giving on issues such as the ID of this aircraft. This just continued to prove the tremendous power of shared effort and collaboration, multiplied a hundred times by our ability to work together and communicate efficiently over the internet, using tools such as this website and the LEMB.

Now, if we can just acquire copies of these images for the EOE photo data base, we'll have everything possible for the artist's profile package. Chris, thanks for your offer of another photo of the aircraft. I look forward to seeing the copy when it arrives.

Regards,

Hello,

Based upon the W.Nr. 2581, does anyone know what the full subtype would be for this a/c, and the month of manufacture of the a/c?

Hello Larry and all others,

the auction has ended, but I wasn't successful. :cry: Hope, the winner is a member of this forum and will provide the photographs for EOE project.

Best regards,

Hello Larry,

in AirDOCs WWII Combat Aircraft Photo Archive No. 03 Dornier Do 17 E-Z, Do 215 B on page 51 there is another photo of the a/c stated as Do 17 Z-1.

Kind regards,
Bf 110

Bf110,

Very helpful reference! The Do17/215 AirDoc photo is very similar to the one that Chris Goss just sent me, but also allows us to properly position the swastica on the tail, which isn't visible in his photo. Don't know how accurate the AirDoc assessment of this being a Z-1 is. If a published subtype/W.Nr./manufacturer's date cross reference exists for the Do17, that should tell us what subtype 2581 was. Don't know if anyone has ever published that or not.

Regards,
