A version of the Do 17 was developed for the Yugoslav Air Force.
The aircraft had an extended nose, Yugoslav and Czechoslovak instruments and Gnome-Rhône 14 N engines, and defensive armament consisting of three Belgian FN 7.7mm machine guns.
36 aircraft were delivered from Germany, the first of these in October 1937.
First 20 Do 17Ka-1 bombers were delivered, then 14 Do 17Ka-2, which could also be used for reconnaissance, and finally two Do 17Kb-1, which was already based on the more modern Do-17M variant and was the model for license production.
On the very first day of the German attack, a total of 41 aircraft were lost.
A few days later, the last eight Do 17Ks helped transport important people, documents and gold to Greece.
On the day the armistice was signed on April 17, 1941, four of them were destroyed by German fighters at the Greek airport Paramythia.
Two machines managed to escape via Greece to Egypt.
Several machines flew to Croatia and Bulgaria.
