==Production== ===German=== [[File:Bundesarchiv Bild 101I-345-0784-14A, Frankreich, Do 17.jpg|thumb|upright=1.6|left|The Do 17Z was the most produced variant of the Do 17 series]] Official figures state 2,139 Do 17s were built on German [[assembly line]]s. At the Dornier factory at [[Oberpfaffenhofen]], 328 Do 17Es were built along with a further 77 Do 17Fs and 200 Do 17M variants. Do 17Z production figures for Oberpfaffenhofen stand at 420. At Friedrichshafen, 84 Do 17Ks were built, some of which were sold to the Yugoslav Royal Air Force. Do 17P production was spread out over different factory lines. At Siebel/Halle, eight were built. At the [[Henschel]] factory at Berlin-Schönefeld 73 were constructed. At the HFB plant in [[Hamburg]] 149 were built. Henschel also produced some 320 Do 17Zs, HFB contributed to construction of 74 at its Hamburg plant, and another 73 were built at Siebel. It was the interest shown by Yugoslavia in the Do 17Z which gave rise to the designation [[Dornier Do 215]], allotted for no apparent reason to the Do 17Z sent to Yugoslavia for demonstration purposes.{{Sfn | Munson | 1960 | p = 16}} Some 105 examples of the Dornier Do 215B was later built at Oberpfaffenhofen.<ref name="Griehl 2005, p. 11."/> By 19 September 1938, the Luftwaffe had received 579 Dornier Do 17s. These were mostly Do 17E, F, M and P variants.<ref name="Nowarra 1990, p. 25">Nowarra 1990, p. 25.</ref> During 1939–1940, some 475 Dornier Do 17Z bombers, 16 reconnaissance aircraft and nine night fighters were built. Another 100 Dornier Do 215s, an updated variant of the Do 17, were built during this period also.<ref>Nowarra 1990, p. 48.</ref> ===Yugoslav=== Other governments were interested in the Do 17. In June 1936, the [[Yugoslavia|Yugoslav]] government ordered 36 Do 17E variants from Germany. The negotiations for a licence were completed on 27 June 1938 for 36 Do 17Ka's at the cost of 1,829,825 [[Reichsmark]]s. On 18 March 1938, Yugoslavia ordered 16 complete Do 17 Ka-2's and Ka-3's at a cost of 3,316,788 Reichsmarks. They received the last on 21 April 1939. The machines were from 72 to 96% complete.<ref name="Ciglic and Savic, p. 9">Ciglic and Savic 2007, p. 9.</ref> The Dorniers were devoid of German equipment, including engines. The Yugoslavs found a French manufacturer to supply the powerplants instead. [[Gnome et Rhône]] was the supplier chosen, and the Gnome-Rhône Mistral Major engine was to be used in the Dornier. The French had inflated the performance data of the engine, claiming it to have {{convert|649|kW|hp|abbr=on}} and a speed of {{convert|420|km/h|mph|abbr=on}} at {{convert|3,850|m|ft|abbr=on}}. The constant-speed [[Propeller (aircraft)|propeller]]s were also poor, and delivered late. This led to trials with [[Piaggio Aero]] and Ratier propellers.<ref>Ciglic and Savic 2007, p. 6.</ref> Only one of the Do 17s delivered was fitted out complete with German equipment. The rest of the Dorniers were equipped with Belgian FN 7.9 mm (.31 in) machine guns, Czech camera equipment and eventually [[Telefunken]] radio sets.<ref name="Ciglic and Savic 2007, pp. 6-7">Ciglic and Savic 2007, pp. 6–7.</ref> Altogether, 70 Do 17s were produced by Yugoslav factories.
