What makes you think, it is Do-17?

May be, you should research more, to find that Do-17Z was equipped with Bramo-323 9-cylinder engine.

I stand corrected on the Do-17Z

And a "Dornier Do 17 equipped with Daimler Benz DB-601s" ...is a Do 215

So i just found out. just saw the screenshots of the Do-17Z in one of the other threads.

Never seen any photos of the Do-215 and i've been a WWII buff for a long time. Guess you learn something new every day. That'll teach me to panick-post, lol.

One such group to use the Dornier Do-17 were 9/KG76, a squadron that had practiced and perfected extremely low-level attacks using the aircraft during the battles for France and the low countries.

There is a painting called "Eagle Day" that depicts a burnt-out Do-17Z of KG76 being overflown by a Hurricane of 111 squadron who were also in action along with 615 squadron on the day.
