Re: Identity of Dornier Do 17 sought!
Hi, Melvin...
Great photos, once again  .The machine is definitely from KG77 as others have said. Given the shade of the propellor spinner, I would be inclined to say too light to be red but depending what image you're looking at, it could be white or yellow, thus leaving the options, presuming it's not a staff machine of course, as either 1., 4. or 7./KG77 or 3., 6, or 9./KG77. Interesting that the first handwritten caption is dated 20 September, 1940, but the typed caption is dated 13 July. My German is a little dodgy, but does the first caption say it bellylanded with 18 bombs, as in "on board"? Quite a feat after receiving 152 flak hits! Regards, Paul Last edited by obdl3945; 2nd July 2012 at 22:35. Reason: Changed my mind on the Staffeln, as one image shows lighter spinners and another darker ones.
