Re: AEG G.II
Bottom line Clint is we don't know enough (and indeed I have the Aeronaut book).
Since I am no technical guy, (I am happy enough being able to tie my own shoe laces) I am not
able to see subtle differences between, in this case, the K.I, G.I and G.II.
As far as I am concerned the K.I could very well have been converted to the G.I
Even if it was still early in the war, there probably was some kind of restraining order "don't waste
raw material". So when the heavy escort fighter theory died/was rejected I can well imagine the
K.I being converted with an extra seat and perhaps "beefed up" a bit to comply with a new
bomber concept.
Was the G.I again converted to become the G.II? No idea, but again not impossible.
An added armoured nose should be "easy enough" (for some handy men that is) and a change
of engines would not cause anyone to have sleepless nights.
So bottom line for me is that the experts say
a) There was a K.I built
b) There was a G.I built Bestellnummer G1/15
c) There was a production of G.II built.
Everything in between seems to be speculation....
