Dornier Do 17E-3 (W. Nr. 3003, NA+EU)

[mrtn001]

Hello,
does anybody know more about this Do 17? Only information I got is from a Russian monography about the type (Eksprint, 2003) and certain website (airpages.ru) where the said plane (shown on photograph) is described as Do 17E-3, forcelanded on 21st March 1941 near Belorussian small town Cechanovec. The machine probably belonged to KFS 4 in Toruń (Thorn) and after landing was tested in the NII VVS, then returned back to Germans. What makes me wonder is the W. Nr. 3003 - it mismatch the Do 17E/F Werknummer blocks I found on this forum (the block 3001 - 3131 was reserved for the subtype E-1 made in license by Henschel).
There is also another Do 17E-1 probably of KFS 3 at Warsaw-Okecie which forcelanded in the West Belorussia one day before.

I will appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance
Martin Nový

Thanks for the replay and new information, Remi.
The problem is stilI the correct assigning of Werknummer blocks to the subtypes Do 17E-1, E-2, E-3, F-1, F-2 (this applies also to M-1, P and Z versions including subtypes). I got another information about the parts of Do 17E-2 (W. Nr. 897 - according to the factory shield) found in Poland in the Świdnica County (near villages Zawiszów, Bojanice, Bystrzyca Górna). The unit is unknown.
So, I will keep on research.

Best regards
Martin
