The AEG G.II was a German biplane bomber aircraft of World War I developed from the AEG G.I, with more powerful engines. The G.II was typically armed with three 7.92 mm (.312 in) machine guns and 200 kg (440 lb) of bombs. The bomber suffered stability problems, and many G.IIs were fitted with additional vertical tail surfaces on each side of the fin and rudder to improve flight handling characteristics. This aircraft was the first assignment of Baron Von Richtofen prior to becoming a pilot. Specifications (AEG G.II) See also References Taylor, John W. R., and Jean Alexander.
