General information on romanian Do 17s

[Pawel Burchard]

I am looking for general information on Dornier 17s delivered to Romania, all what I've been able to collect is:
10 Do 17M delivered in 1942. In October 1942 transferred to Russia with Escadrila 2 reconoastere.

Regards,
Pawel

Pawel: I am finishing my book on the Do 17 and have found no mention of Romanian Do 17s-were they ex-Yugoslav ones captured after the Balkans Campaign or, like the Finnish Do 17s, exported?

Rumania received 10 Do 17m aircraft in the spring of 1942. They were not war booty so they were most likely ex. Luftwaffe aircraft.

Some say a/c all came from BFS 6, but this information is probably based on photograph showing badge on engine cover of one of Romanian machines.

Chriss, could you tell some more about the scope of the book?

Kind regards,
Pawel

Pawel: The book is a photo album (200 photos) but as you can guess, post Barbarossa, there was very little Do 17-wise. Boris Ciglic has been very helpful with Croatian Do 17s but photos from 1941 and Russia are very few and far between
