Do 17 Z-5 Wk Nrs

[Pawel Burchard]

However, it may be quite possible to obtain some information on the subject directly from EADS archive. I've been in contact with some very kind person from the archives some time ago and have received copies of Dornier documents regarding Do 17U, R, S and also on Do 215 exports to Soviet Russia. So your friend could just try and contact them with regard to Do 17 Z-5 documents they may have, if they're still opened to public.

I've visited that archive and didn't find any W.Nr. Lists for the Do 17 Z-5 or any documents related to how many Z-5s were built/converted.

Thanks Mikael. It would appear that any attempts to produce such a list will be prevented by Z-5s being recorded as Z-3s and a lack of photos showing Wk Nrs (the Croatian Wk Nr 2899 being the only one that I am aware of plus the link between 11 Oct 40 and 7T+HH/Wk Nr 2787)

Slightly off topic, but it is interesting to note that this floatation equipment was used also on at least one Do 17 P. But if this conversion received a special designation or not is unknown to me or if more conversions where made or not. May be someone knows?
