Dornier Do 217 - Medium Bomber
Dornier Do 217
The Dornier Do 217 was a more powerful, armed, and refined development of the Dornier Do 17; known as the "flying pencil" due to its narrow fuselage and cramped crew compartments. Having a greater range compared to the previous Do 17, the 217 participated in more roles such as strategic/dive bombing, torpedo bombing, reconnaissance, and night fighter. Its maritime strike capabilities included the first use of early radio-guided glide bombs in ww2.
This design is based on the E-5 variant, which mainly saw marine and strategic bomber uses
