The Dornier Do 17, sometimes referred to as the Bleistift ("pencil") by its pilots, was a World War II light bomber produced by Dornier that was used for a short time by the Luftwaffe. It became outclassed, and was removed from front-line service when the completely new Dornier Do 217 was put in production. A small run of an updated version known as the Do 215 was also produced.
