Re: Do 17Z defection to Italy on 5 June 1944
AFAIK, (and as we reported in "Air War Italy 1944-45"), the closest reference available from Allied sources (Intelligence interrogatory report) is that a crew of six, led by Ltn. Dragou Ratkovic took off from Serajevo on 13 July 1944 in the Do 17Z "0309" of 7. staffel of 1./Kroat KG1 and belly landed in a field at Alberobello (near Bari) handing themselves over to Allied authorities.
Hope this helps
