As to He 111s, a number of IV Gruppe were active but I could see nothing and in any case Foster reported his kill burning on the water

Your Do 17 book is 336 pages and mainly a pictorial. The type had basically an operational life between 1939 - 41
and losses are pretty well known during this period. As far as I can see there is no loss list included at all
in that book!

Your Do 217 is 184 pages. Differentiating from your Do 17 book, which included a production list, your Do
217 book does not, leaving me with an old list made by Manfred Griehl "back in the days". No such data
available to you?

Both your books are very haphazard when it comes to inclusion of WNr data.
Sometimes it is there, but mostly it is not.
To include the WNr details in every loss you mention in the main text would not have created two further
volumes, and especially the Do 217 would have been that much better at least to me.

Cheers
