Gotha G.Vb

The Gotha G.Vb was a further attempt to extend the useful life of the Gotha G.V by adding Flettner server controls and a strengthened undercarriage, but by the time of the G.Vb's arrival, the Gotha design was far past its prime, and it did not compare favorably against its contemporary competition the A.E.G. G.V and Friedrichshafen G.IV. The G.Vb also featured a compound tail assembly.
