The photo below is taken from my book "Hitler's Luftwaffe" by Tony Wood and Bill Gunston, Salamander Books, 1977.
The caption reads, "Do 217E-2 of 6/KG 40 at Merignac in 1942".
IMHO, it is a particularly handsome paint scheme. What are the RLM colors used on this airplane? (I do recognize the red and yellow as probably RLM 23 and 04, respectively) I'm interested in any other history of this group. Other aircraft deployed, etc?
Please let me know if this is the correct forum for this question. Thanks!
