The Dornier Do-217 is a medium-sized, twin-engine German bomber from the Second World War. Due to external factors, it is often mistaken for the development version of Do-17. The first designs of the new aircraft were created as early as 1937, but serial production began at the end of 1940. The first unit to receive the Do-217 bomber version in March 1941 was the II Gruppe belonging to Kampfgeschwader 40 (II / KG 40). The Do-217 had a much greater range, speed, and bomb carrying capacity than the Do-17. This was mainly due to the use of much more powerful engines - BMW 801A with 1540KM or DB 603A with 1726KM. Over the course of the war, over 1,900 Do-217 different versions were produced. The basic version was the "E", which served as a medium bomber. It was also the Do-217E-5 that could carry the Hs 293/4 or Fritz X air-to-water guided missile. The "J" and "N" versions were also built on a large scale, serving as a night fighter. The Do-217 machines were used primarily in the Mediterranean and in the air campaign over Germany against Allied strategic bombers. Technical data (version Do-217 M-1): Maximum speed: 557 km / h, speed of climb: 3.5 m / s, maximum ceiling 7,370 m, maximum range: 2,145 km, armament: fixed-4 MG81 cal machine guns .7.92mm, 2 MG131 machine guns cal.13mm, pendant, up to 4000 kg of bombs.
