The monograph on the WW2 German bombers Dornier Do 17 and Dornier Do 215
discusses their design, development and operational history. Each
variant is specified and comprehensively described with coverage of
changes made in its sub-variants, including the special modifications
for the foreign recipients. Designed and built in the late 1930s,
originally as reconnaissance and bomber plane, the Do 17/215 was also
used as a night fighter equipped with radar systems. A large part of the
book is devoted to the combat use of the aircraft in the Spanish Civil
War, Poland, the Balkans and Russia together with the Western Campaign
and Battle of Britain. A short account of the night fighting missions is
also included.
