Historical Description

The Dornier Do 17 Z-2, often referred to as the “Flying Pencil,” was one of the most important Luftwaffe bombers during the early stages of World War II. The aircraft was widely used in air campaigns such as the Battle of Britain, and in raids on Poland, France, and the Balkans between 1939 and 1941. The Z-2 model was introduced into service in 1940 as a variant adapted to increase speed and bomb load. The Do 17 was characterized by its narrow fuselage and twin-engine design, which allowed for operations from short runways and made the aircraft difficult for Allied fighters to hit.
