Friedrichshafen G.III

Although the Gotha bombers got most of the popular press, the Friedrichshafen G.III bombers were used in a similar heavy bomber role, including raids over Paris and likely London. Pilot, rear gunner, and bombardier/front gunner manned the planes, though sometimes a crew of only two was carried. The rear cockpit had a trap door with two windows to facilitate downward vision.

The similar Friedrichshafen G.IIIa replaced the wide-chord G.III tail with a compound tail.
