Do-217K-1, KG 2

Hi!

In the Warpaint Series book (#24), by Jerry Scutts, it appears the photo of a Do-217K-1 (w.nr 4446), of KG 2 (p. 22). This aircraft has one large presentation of the individual code letter "G" (perhaps in yellow) on the rudder. Does not have others code letters.

Which staffel it belonged?

Thank's a lot!

According to Ulf Balke's book, a detachment from IV./KG 2 deployed to Debrecen in September 1944 passed its Do 217s to the Nacht Aufkl.Gr.

Hi, Nick and John

According the same book, this Do-217K-1 "Yellow G" served in KG 2, in winter 1943-44, maybe took part in Operation Steinbock.

Cheers,
Franklin
