Re: ID of Do17P with Z5 Unit Code

Marc,

Good suggestion, but I've gone back and reviewed the photos and the first letter is clearly "Z" and the second almost can only be a "5." The third code letter is a "B" so we have Z5+B? and the photos are of a crash supposed to be in France during the 1940 Blitzkrieg. One suggestion from one of our EOE members is that this is a "Flakkorps" a/c, although I'm not really familiar with such a unit. I don't find any listing for a "Z5" code in any of my standard references.

Regards,
