Re: Dornier 17Z Stammkennzeihen (Finnish Air Force)
The first detailed list of the Finnish Do 17s, I remember was Suomen Ilmavoimien Historia 2 published in 1971. In this publication, apparently the "U5" of KG 2 was misread as a "V5" and it is not much of a stretch to mistake a "5" for an "S". Also in this publication are a few shots of Do 17s before the application of Finnish markings. One of the Do 17s was apparently delivered with "CQ+HG" codes painted on the aircraft. So it may be that there are really no Verbandkennzeichen missing.
Best Regards,
Artie Bob
