IWM say this is a prototype of the Do 217J-1, a heavy but nevertheless effective night fighter. The airframe served with 4./NJG 3 as 3C-MT and was then supplied to the Italian air force which received twelve Do 217Js to equip one squadron of 60° Gruppo. The unit did poorly and this one was apparently lost in August 1943. Photo from: Imperial War Museums This photo was added on 29 April 2023, and has since been viewed 304 times. |
