Dornier Do 17K  
Twenty Do 17Ka-1 ordered in 1936. One aircraft was lost in an accident before delivery, so nineteen were delivered October 1937-Spring 1938. Fifteen Do 17Ka-2 and two Do 17Ka-3 delivered late 1938 to spring 1939. 870 hp Gnôme-Rhône K-14N engines. A Do 17Ka-3 manufacturing licence was also obtained and deliveries from DFA (Fabrika Aeroplana Kraljevo) began in November 1939. Sixteen Do 17Kb-1 were followed by ten Do 17Kb-2 and seven Do 17Kb-3, making a total of 33 aircraft. The German invasion prevented the final three aircraft (of 36 total planned) being built.

Many Do 17Ks were destroyed on the ground at the start of the April 1941 invasion, but the survivors managed to fly a number of successful bombing raids on attacking forces. Two aircraft escaped to Egypt and were impressed into the RAF, becomimg AX706 and AX707. The Italians captured two aircraft. The Germans captured 18 aircraft, including the 3 unfinished of Do 17Kb-3 aircraft. Six of these went to Bulgaria and 11 to Croatia. In 1945 the JRV captured three Croatian aircraft and in 1947 Bulgaria returned four aircraft. They did not remain in service for long.
