  • The Dornier Do 17 was a medium bomber and night fighter that was used by Germany and some of her allies during World War II.
  • Because the Do 15 design was rejected, a redesigned aircraft, called Do 17 was made and it was accepted by the Reichsluftfahrtministerium, to build two prototypes of it. The first flight took place on 23rd November 1934. The slender fuselage was the reason for its nickname “Fliegender Bleistift” (“flying pencil”). During flight testing it was realized that the Do 17 could also be used by the military, and from then on it was redesigned to be used as a high speed bomber.
  • The Do 17 made its combat debut in 1937 during the Spanish Civil War, operating in the Condor Legion in various roles. Along with the Heinkel He 111 it was the main bomber type of the German air arm in 1939-40. The Dornier was used throughout the war, and saw action in significant numbers in every major campaign theatre as a front line aircraft until the end of 1941, when its effectiveness and usage was curtailed as its bomb load and range were limited.
  • The Dornier Do 17, sometimes referred to as the Fliegender Bleistift ("flying pencil"), was a World War II German light bomber produced by Claudius Dornier's company, Dornier Flugzeugwerke. It was designed as a Schnellbomber ("fast bomber"), a light bomber which, in theory, would be so fast that it could outrun defending fighter aircraft. On 3 September 2010, the Royal Air Force Museum London announced the discovery of a Dornier Do 17 buried in the Goodwin Sands off the coast of Kent, England. On 10 June 2013, the salvage team successfully raised the airframe from the seabed.
