It's About the Journey Not Just the Destination
The Royal Romanian Air Force received 10 worn out Do 17Ms in November 1942. Operated by Escadrila 2 in the reconnaissance role, they proved difficult to maintain due to their age and lack of spare parts.
The Bristol Blenheim was a light bomber, developed for the Royal Air Force from the Bristol Type 142 civil airliner in the mid 1930s. The Blenheim Mk.I entered service with the RAF in 1937 and was used extensively during the first two years of the Second World War.
The Mk.I was replaced by the Mk.IV, with an extended nose, more powerful engines and increased defensive armament. The initial Mk.IV had an extended forward fuselage to provide more room for the bomb aimer. This extension hindered the pilot’s forward vision and was modified with a stepped, curved forward section. This was again modified with a scooped out section, giving the aircraft an asymmetrical nose, but improving the pilot’s vision.
The Soviet Union purchased two Dornier Do 215 B-3 long range reconnaissance aircraft for evaluation. Originally ordered as Do 215B-2s by the Luftwaffe, which had cancelled its order in favour of the Junkers Ju 88 and Heinkel He 177, they were redesignated Do 215B-3s. They were not equipped with either defensive armament of cameras when delivered.
