Hi Troops:
Can anyone point me to a book or series of books on the Do-17e thru Z aircraft? I have seen several excellent series from Kagero and other Eastern European or Polish sources on the Junkers and Heinkel bombers but I have nothing on the Dorniers. Something that will give drawings and details on the different versions.

The only recent title I'm aware of is from Exprint (Armada? or M-Hobby?). Probably a good read - if you speak Russian. From what I recall, as is the case with a lot of these mags, 90% of it was b&w period phtos that have been printed elsewhere ad nauseum. Yes, I'm pretty sure the shot of the Do 17 flying over the Acroplis was in there.
I was surprised when I browsed the Squadron titles that I couldn't find a title for the Do 17 or 217. Hardto believe they overlooked the 'pencil'.
Good luck.

As far as the Do 217 is concened, the best monograph I've seen is "Do
217-317-417: An Operational Record," by Manfred Griehl (English translation, Smithsonian Institution Press: Washington, DC, 1991). The organization is a bit scattered, but it has scads of information. Regrettably, there's darn little on the Do 17 and Do 215. I've relied on William Green's various writings in the past; one could do a lot worse.Mark Schynert
You could take a look at Joe Kudna's Do 17/215/27 site:

I know of only one book dedicated to the Do 17 aside from the old 'Aircraft Profile' (No. 164):

Charlie:
From what I have seen around here in the last couple of years I suspect there isn't much published that has escaped your notice. Thanks for the pointer. When it comes to books, "You da man!".
