Re: Any Ideas of this Do 217 Crash?
The same photos are on file at TNA: AIR 40/2159 "A.I.2(g) reports 1030 - 1343A (incomplete) (Jun–Nov 43)". It'll be one of the following:
FOGGIA Do 217K - - "Special aerial array"*; 24,50m. span; W.Nr. "may be 134 from a part" [meaning this number was marked on some piece of the aircraft]. Do 217E-5 5615 6N+GP Belly-landed (KG+YW) Do 217 - 6N+KP FuG 200. Do 217K 4560 6N+KR 24,50m. span; 4560 was painted on the nose and fin but in another report the W.Nr. is recorded [from inside the aircraft?] as 3420. All the above aircraft, which were examined on 6.10.43, had fuel tanks shaped to fill their bomb-bays; "Giesskanne" and pilot's periscope. |
