Designed to meet a Lufthansa requirement for a high-speed mail plane, the Dornier Do 17 was first flown in 1934. After the Nazi rise to power, the original specifications for the Do 17 were changed to those of a light bomber. Its sleek design made it particularly suited to this role: it featured a fully glazed nose, a forward-set cockpit and twin tail configuration. It was very maneuverable at low altitudes, which meant it was capable of surprise bombing attacks and was fast enough to outrun defending enemy aircraft. The most highly-produced model was the Do 17Z variant, which saw more combat service than the E-U types.
