Dornier Do-17

The Dornier Do 17 was a German twin-engine bomber distinguished by its narrow fuselage, which earned the nickname Flying Pencil. It served before and during the early Second World War, including the campaigns in Poland, western Europe, and the Battle of Britain. Reconnaissance versions also operated. As heavier and faster aircraft became available, the family lost prominence in front-line bombing but continued in specialized roles. Its slender appearance earned an association with fast civil-aircraft concepts in its early development. The military bomber that emerged nevertheless required dedicated bomb-carrying, defensive, navigation, and crew arrangements. The Do 17Z became the most numerous wartime variant of the family.
