Description
In the book, A Concise Guide raises the operational life, from its earliest beginnings to its final demise, during the various phases of the Second World War. Using the official Luftwaffe combat reports, the book tracks the day-by-day life of the aircraft and its crews, revealing for the first time in English the extent of their operations, as well as giving accounts and photographs of the actions in which Do17 crews were involved in during the Second World War.
Chris Goss examines the operational history, down to the service records, revealing the actions in which the aircraft participated, together with its successes and failures in action. In addition, there are details on the combat history including detailed accounts of the actions by Chris Goss, whose previous excellent research has revealed many of the previously undiscovered actions. The actions, with details of the aircraft and their crews recorded in the extensive footnote section, are covered from their inception in the Spanish Civil War to their demise in the various theaters of conflict - East, West, North and South.
The book A Concise Guide is well illustrated, using rare and previously unpublished archival photographs of this iconic aircraft. Using a special format, the book combines the technical and combat history on the aircraft in a very unique way. Never before has such an extensive work been published on the Dornier Do 17 in the English-speaking world, making this publication a landmark.
