Rumpler G.III

Rumpler constructed 58 medium bombers during the Great War, and the G.III was the most numerous model. The G.III arrived at the front in December 1916 and served at least through spring of 1918, when several were still on hand. Though a few were lost in accidents, none of the Rumpler G-types were ever shot down, a testament to the robustness. In 1917 Idflieg wisely decided to let Rumpler concentrate on their excellent high-altitude two-seaters and let other manufacturers such as A.E.G. and Gotha continue bomber development. The Rumpler factory designation was "6G2". Frontbestand records show them still on hand in Feb 1918, but Lamberton states they continued to serve as night bombers through August 1918.
