Dornier Do 215 B from Aufkl.Ob.d.L - is there a full list of werknummer and codes?

[Adriano Baumgartner]

Good night to all members.
I tried to find but got not too much joy on internet or on books. Nevertheless I managed to "scratch" a small list of werknummers and codes flown.
Anyone who may want to help completing the list is welcomed. Hope this will be of assistance for other members and modelists.

[Chris Goss]

Mikael Olrogs’ definitive book on the Do 215 has a complete list of WkNr, unit and fate but no details on crew or reasons for loss

[Adriano Baumgartner]

Thanks Chris. The book is on the wish list for Xmas, amongst others as well (just wished the Dollar, Euro or Pound did have the same parity of our money!).

It is however a sad thing that there is no reasons for the losses or the crew names on those entries. For instance it would be nice to know who was piloting in the cases of accidents and the reasons for those (if from enemy action or due to poor maintenance, for instance.).

[Chris Goss]

The book is big enough already. If I had done this for the Do 17 or Do 217, this would double the word count and no doubt the price!

[Mikael Olrog]

A small note, all names and each loss is described in detail in the text together with any photo that illustrates the event. So all details are there but it was excluded from the tabel to save space.

[Adriano Baumgartner]

Mikael, my gratitude for your answer here as well.
The book is on the "gunsight" for Xmas and I will be surely pleased to read it, as other members of this and other Boards recommended it fully.
Wish you MORE works to come (and for us readers)!
Semper Fi.
