Withdrawn by the german Luftwaffe already in late 1941, due to its faible capacities the Do17Z was still good enough for Germanies allied forces. Same as the USA and USSR: their allies got also only the old crab of equipment.

Amazingly, one of these Dornier 17 bombers was just discovered (April 2011) intact underwater off the English coast in abt 50ft of water. It is thought to be the last remaining example. Preparations are underway to retrieve it carefully. It is upside down and the cabin is crushed, but anything can be rebuilt. Germany made no long-range bombers for WWII, which hindered their strategic capabilities.

@FLSHBK1 Forgot to add the term "heavy" ~ meant to say Germany made no long range HEAVY bombers for WWII, which hindered their strategic capabilities.

Bewundernswert, was die Finnen mit ihren begrenzten Möglichkeiten geschafft haben.

Schönes Video von einem schönen Flugzeug.

We had abput 15 do-17s surving in our air force. One was given to us as a gift from Hermann Göring.
