I really think I rather would like a flyable Do17. (thats just me)

Yet the Do215 is being worked on. From what I have read ~100 were built and mostly used for recon.

No a Do 17. There were used as bombers quite a lot in the beginning. Lots of attacks on shipping.

"We now need more refs on bomber variants of Do-215. I guess, it is more difficult task, since, as far, as I know, no plane of that type exists by now.

If anyone have photos, or pictures from manuals, which haven't yet been published in various books - feel free to post them here."
