Gotha G

The Gotha G series of bombers were the main German twin-engine bombers of World War I. Built by Gothaer Waggonfabrik, the first unsuccessful variant was the G.I. It had an unusual shape, with a fuselage upon the upper wing of the biplane, and only a small number were built. The next Gotha planes were completely different from G.I, and were similar to each other, the main difference being in the engines used. The most numerous types were the Gotha G.IV and G.V. Though its bomb load by modern standards is negligible, their effect on British morale and war effort was enormous. They replaced the vulnerable Zeppelins.
