Hello Chaps,

I'm looking for more cockpit references for the Do17z Project - I'm currently working on the internal cockpit model, but I'm somewhat hampered by a lack of clear photos or technical drawings that show the layout of instuments and postions of the various levers, switches, buttons and so on - the info that kind folks here have provided - while very useful - is lacking sufficent clarity, and in some instances are conflicting - I'm not sure if these are specifically for the Z variant, or for earlier variants. An extensive web search has revealed very little.

I'm also looking for better views/drawings of the gunner and bombadier postions (including bomb sight), and also for details of ancillary equipment & fittings: radio equipment, throttle quadrants, MG mounts & magazine racks/stowage, etc.

Anybody out there with a copy of the original 1940 pilot's 'Handbuch' for the 17z? This might provide the missing info that I need. Similarly, any good, clear photos of any relics preserved in museums might help.

Please do post here, or PM me if you can help.

Many Thanks

Hawkers

Hey Hawkman,

I don't have any detailed references of my own, but have you tried accessing archives online for various air and space museums such as the Smithsonian Institution or the British Imperial War museum - I know there are scads more than these out there, but they are the only ones I have in my immediate frontal lobe.

Good luck with the pencil.

Hello,

Try:

http://www.luftfahrt-archiv-hafner.de/dornier.htm

It may cost a bit, but this is exactly what you are looking for. I'm thinking of getting their Ju352A-1 handbuch myself.

http://preservedaxisaircraft.com/ lists only a few extant relics from Do17s. There are no complete aircraft in museums anywhere. We'll have to raise one from the North Sea, I guess .

Cheers,
