Re: Do 217 K-1 of Major Horst Kingler - 11 Sept 1943
I know this is a tricky question but was the Do 217 K prone to "engine fire in flight" like the He 177?
I understand it depended on the kind of maintenance held at Staffeln or Gruppe (or even Base) level...and that the He 177's problem was mainly a project fault.
There are many probabilities for such a crash at night...without enemy action.
