Very few Dorner Do 17 pilots made names for themselves flying the type in World War Two, as the bomber became outdated very early in the conflict. One man who did have a notable career on the Do 17 was Erwin Moll of Kampfgeschwader 76 (KG 76). The second Gruppe of KG 76 (Ⅱ/KG 76), which had only been formed at Wels, in northern Austria, at the start of January 1940 was commanded by Major Walter Hill. Although Moll had clocked up 730 flights by the start of the Battle of France on May 10, 1940 he didn't fly his first operational mission until the 13th. This combat debut was staged from Koeln-Wahn, and is believed to have targeted the Philippeville/Givet area on the Belgian/French border. The following afternoon he flew his second 'op', with another later that evening; one of these was against the Dinant- Florennes area of Belgium, the other objective was again the Philippeville region.

机译：很少有Dorner Do 17飞行员在第二次世界大战中使用这种类型的飞机而闻名，因为轰炸机在冲突初期就已经过时了。 Kampfgeschwader 76（KG 76）的Erwin Moll是在Do 17上表现出色的一个人。沃尔夫·希尔少校于1940年1月开始在奥地利北部的韦尔斯组建了第二批KG 76（Ⅱ/ KG 76）。尽管在1940年5月10日法国之战开始前，摩尔已经完成了730次飞行，但直到13日他才执行他的第一次飞行任务。这次战斗首次亮相是在科隆·瓦恩（Koeln-Wahn）上演的，据信已针对比利时/法国边境的Philippeville / Givet地区。第二天下午，他进行了第二次“操作”，当晚又进行了一次操作。其中一个是针对比利时的Dinant-Florennes地区，另一个目标又是Philippeville地区。
