Dornier Do 17Z-2 – Historical Background

The Dornier Do 17Z-2, also known as the “Flying Pencil”, was a light bomber of the German Luftwaffe widely used during World War II, especially in the early years of the conflict. The Do 17Z-2 took part, among others, in the Battle of Britain and during the Eastern Front campaign. It was operated from 1939 to the first half of the 1940s by Germany as well as by Finland, Bulgaria, Croatia, and others.
