Re: Photo AEG G.II

Sorry Clint, no I didn't

All I was saying was that I had no idea of Herris sources, and that I felt the seller (for a change) actually was saying something useful...
Schmäling is a good researcher/collector and I have no reason to doubt his statement.

I find the AEG bomber a bit odd to use in the Balkans. The G types were introduced by the Germans as a sort of strategic weapon but could of course be used as a tactical aircraft as well, even if I then feel they were a bit of an "overkill". In the Balkans I have no feeling any of the combatants tried any strategic warfare so what was this G.II's purpose? Long range recce perhaps?

Cheers
Stig
