AEG G.IV
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The AEG G.IV was a biplane bomber aircraft used in World War I by the Germans. It was developed from the AEG G.III, with refinements that allowed it to be manufactured on a large scale, while still maintaining combat efficiency. Some 400 were built.
A single example is preserved at the Canada Aviation Museum. This example is significant not only as the only one of its kind in existence, but as the only preserved German twin-engined World War I combat aircraft.
