Nice Photo of an Obscure WWI German Aerpolane

No, sorry, Sir, but with the Tatzenkreuz it is still German. (How did you get that Russian "D"???)

Here is one I had also never seen before.

If you look close, you can see what it is.

I had thought, "Schräge Musik" ("angular music") was a WW2 invention; now I see the Germans

had already done that in WW1 (see belly MGs).

I know what it is Olham, but I won't say. I will say however that the Brits also set up a few planes for trench strafing in a similar fashion. There were some Camels that packed a set of MGs angled down below the fuselage.

 

 

To that Russian 'D' ? Just copy and paste, mein Freund.

I never know wether it is reassuring, or rather frightening, that most other nations

had similarly sinister ideas about warfare as the Germans had.

Simple as that, eyh? Dooohhh!!! I often wonder where my brain may be, when I sit here without it.

The Friedrichshafen has the looks of a fighter certainly. Any more detailed performance stats available?

Dej, the info posted earlier in this thread by LIMA is all I've ever come across myself as concerns this plane. Wish there was more. It is a good-looking bird.

Yuppers, correct - it was even written on the Lozenge fabric. I wonder, how different OFF II

will be regarding the co-ops in ground offensives, and the battle flyers/Schlachtflieger.
