Zeppelin-Staaken R.VI

The giant Riesenflugzeug bombers were marvels of their time. The only model to reach series production was the Zeppelin-Staaken R.VI, with most of the models completed by Aviatik, Schütte-Lanz, and O.A.W.

Two pilots shared flying responsibilities, aided by a radio operator and navigator directly to their rear. A mechanic sat between the wings and two gunners shared the aft position, with a ventral position in the floor for use as necessary. A nose gunner completed the crew.

None of the R.VIs were lost due to enemy action.
