Re: Do 217 Combat Units of WW2
 

Hi Chris. Will there be much in the way of NJG units in this work?

Re: Do 217 Combat Units of WW2
 

There will but limited. Few photos (just ask Theo Boiten!) and hard to match claims to pilots flying the Do 217 without logbooks (for example, II./NJG 101 flew a mixture of Ju 88s and Do 217s and pilots flipped back and forth). Similar are the Nachtaufklstaffel hence my post. Crecy big book hopes to have more on both roles but it is hard. Bombers of KG 2, II./KG 40 and KG 100 are well covered

Thank-you Chris.

Osprey book is out and over 400 photos for the Crecy/Classic book and 81,000 words; this is not out until next year

Looking forward to read both! :)

Also looking forward to both!

The Osprey is supposed to be out in the U.S. on 14 September.

Re: Do 217 Combat Units of WW2
 

Hopefully both will meet approval!

16th Sep in the UK apparently from the Osprey website, looking forward to the Crecy book very much though...going to be a beast!

Wow - both much-needed, filling a much overlooked gap.

Finger on the trigger for the Crecy Classic book too, to go on the same shelf as its Do17 forebear's book.
