Gotha G.II

The Gotha G.II set the design trend for all subsequent Gotha bombers, with twin engines and a crew of three, with one gunner forward and another aft. Its biggest limitation was the use of the unreliable Mercedes D.IV, the bane of every plane designed for its use. Staffel 20 of KG4 used eight of them operationally, but their missions were likely limited by engine failures.
