Re: Photo AEG G.II

Hi Stig,


Good to here. I don't think that the G category was initially planned as a bomber whether tactical or strategic. Rather, they were Kampfflugzeuge inteded to escort recce aircraft and to attack enemy aircraft to paraphrase the Aeronaut AEG Volume. Clearly not a practical tactic and I would think that the Balkans would be a good place for deployment as not too much aerial opposition could be expected and thus the probability of survival at least tenable. . I believe that the AEG G.IV was the first of the company's G types to be planned as a bomber.


Regards,


Clint
