Re: Informations about DO217 with nr. 1577 or 1573??

Like MB I could not find a Do217 with such a number lost in the August to October 1943 period, that is assuming the 1577 is a werk nummer. The only Do217's I found near this were 1508 and 1518 both Do217N night fighters. I read that some Do217J night fighters were supplied to the Regia Aeronautica but have no idea of the werk nummer range of these aircraft. With the Mussolini ring found at the wreck site I did wonder if this could have been flown by an Italian crew. From the photos on the previous thread on this aircraft the number did definitely look like 1577/3,

Hope You find the answer
