Do 217 A-0
 

A rare plane, only 6 of these were completed, most if not all went to 1./Aufkl.OB.dL but then went to other units after; can anyone add to this list:
Wk Nr 2701 Ended up with IV./KG 40 1941

Wk Nr 2702
Wk Nr 2703 D-ABDE/GM+AF. Ended up as U5+KU with 10./KG 2
Wk Nr 2704 CO+JJ
Wk Nr 2705
Wk Nr 2706 Serving with FFS C(5) in 1943

Mikael Olrog has pointed out he has a chapter in his book on the Do 215. It does clarify some of the mysteries but not all

Thanks Chriss & RT
Download now works - I have W/Nr 2705 - 2706 as DA+JV & DA+JW - Last one with FFS(C)5 31.12.42 at Neubrandenburg (Fb.Kurt Reuth)
Are you certain that W/Nrs 2719 & 2720 are Type A-0s?
I have W/Nrs 2701 to 2709 as Type A-0s - All old sources

Re: Do 217 A-0
 

Hello Tom,


DA+JV/DA+JW seems to be 2105/2106 not 2705/2706,



DA+JR to DA+JW are 2101/2106

Rémi,

Do 217 A-0 W.Nr. 2704 was captured on Sicily and it is well documented photographically with registration DA+JU - numerous photos sold on ebay.

Do 217 A-0 W.Nr. are 2701 to 2706 and not 2101 to 2106 as given in error on stammkennzeicehn.de.

GM+A* or CO+J* has nothing to do with the six Do 217 A-0.

Best regards

Thanks Remi & Mikael
As far as I know W/Nrs 2101 to 2106 are not Do217 W/Nrs but 2701 to 2706 are

Re: Do 217 A-0
 

Right STKZ.de fool me, better to rely in primary sources, the only that I hv which name Wn nd STKZ is the FB Beauvais Do217E-1-V 2709/CO+IM to read CO+JM dated Sept.+dec.42

The FB Riedl/Grassmann/Baist/Jorga name the CO+IJ nd CO+JK/CO+JL as Do217-V7/Do217-V8 different Wn. are given for these codes, from 2704 to 2708.

We hv the DA+JU/2704 or 2703 found in Sicily, nd an DA+JW in the FB Reuth !!!

If Mikael could give us some more "light" ??

I know now better why Chris spake of troublesome model

Re: Do 217 A-0
 

Hi Rémi,

W.Nr. 703 = Do 217 V5
W.Nr. 704 = Do 217 V6
W.Nr. 2701-2706 = A-0
W.Nr. 2707 = Do 217 V7
W.Nr. 2708 = Do 217 V8

I quote from my book "It is commonly stated in many publications that two A-0 aircraft, W.Nr. 2703 and 2704 were allocated as test aircraft and given the Versuch numbers V5 respectively V6. This is however incorrect and is an unfortunate misunderstanding that is often repeated. The Do 217 V5 and V6 had the W.Nr. 703 and 704 and were taken from the Dornier sequential W.Nr. series which covered all types of Dornier aircraft built at the time. These prototypes were at no time equipped with the DB 601 engine contrary to what is suggested in publications."

Re: Do 217 A-0
 

I've not done my homework on the Do 217 so I'll just stick to DA+JR to DA+JW for the A-0
