German Bombers of WWI in Action


by Peter Cooksley

Zweibund — the Dual Alliance — Germany and Austria-Hungary united, were the core of the Central Powers, and here join hands. The bars of Germany's flag border the top left, and those of the Habsburg Austrian Empire and ruling house the bottom right.
Text:
Schulter an Schulter
Untrennbar vereint
in Freud und in Leid!'

Shoulder to shoulder
Inseparably united 
in joy and in sorrow!

Zweibund — the Dual Alliance — Germany and Austria-Hungary united, were the core of the Central Powers, and here join hands. The bars of Germany's flag border the top left, and those of the Habsburg Austrian Empire and ruling house the bottom right.

An author's note says, '"he most important of the Kaiser's strategic bombers are dealt with here."



A brief summary of bombers: A.E.G. G.IV, Friedrichshafen G.III, Gotha G.IV and G.V, Zeppelin (Staaken) R.VI. Illustrated with black and white contemporary photographs and a center, two-page color plate.
