Re: Do 17Z defection to Italy on 5 June 1944
Hello Chris, I have some photos of it but could you send me a low-res scan of your photo? This was another aircraft of 1./Kampfgruppe Kroatien (ex- 15.(Kroat.)/KG 53). There were four sucessful defections with Do 17 from 15.(Kroat.)/KG 53 (including these two mentioned above) and another one which failed due to appearance of RAF Spitfires, as well as three from Croat AF, to Italy. Also a quite a few more to Partisan airfields in Yugoslavia and one in Russia in 1942.
