Re: Do 17 Ka-3 in RHAF service 1941-44
Hi Boris
Do 17 Ka-3 which emergency - force-landed (or by error) on Hungarian territory in Transylvania on 10 IV 1941 was examined by Air Force Experimental Institute, the RHAF out it into service assigning it the code J.101, he served in Long-Range Reccon Squadron in 1942 during Hungary East campaigne towards Stalingrad (on the Don bend).
So far I have seen 2 photos of it, one after emergency landing on the nose, second after reciving the new Hungarian markings (white crosses). It was destroyed by American carpet bombing in 1944 (I do not know exactly when, probably summer 1944-?).
Regards,
