Re: Help to ID the twin engine bombers or recon acfts

Hi...

These aircraft are definitely the early version Do17M or P. I appreciate it may look as though they have nosewheels, but they did not have this feature. I surmise that either someone or something is positioned in front of some of the aircraft giving the wrong impression.

Tim O's photo is of a Do17Z, a later developement with a redesigned forward fuselage incorporating the crew entry hatch; these earlier Do17M or P had the crew entry door on the fuselage side under the left wing, as per attached image, via ebay auction in January of this year.

Regards,

Paul
