Gotha LE.3

The Gotha LE.3 Taube was a refinement of the LE.2, with a fuselage of rectangular cross-section and a simplified undercarriage. LE3s were used for reconnaissance on all fronts in the early months of the war, as well as for their original intended use as a mild-mannered trainer. "LE" stood for "Land Eindecker" (Land Monoplane).
