It was flown by a number of famous German aces such as Hermann Göring, Gotthard...
From the publisher: The Gotha G. V was a long-range heavy bomber used by the Luftstreitkräfte (Imperial German Air Service). This bomber was agile for its size and difficult to shoot down, but because of its large size, and its unexceptional engine power, it demanded high skill from pilots during takeoffs and landings. The Gotha G. Vs were principally used...

From the publisher: The LFG Roland C.II, usually known as the Walfisch (Whale), was an advanced German reconnaissance aircraft of World War I.

It was flown by a number...
From the publisher: The Sopwith Snipe was a British single-seat biplane fighter of the Royal Air Force (RAF). The Snipe was not a fast aircraft, even by the standards of its time, but its excellent climb and maneuverability made it a good match for contemporary German fighters and it was selected as the standard post-war single seat RAF fighter. It was...

While colourful biplanes gallantly duel each other as true "knights of the air," colossal “giants of the sky” also take flight, bringing destruction to distant cities and over the battlefield....

The Albatros D.III was the continuation of the line of “shark shaped” fighters that began with the D.I in the fall of 1916. Among the improvements was adopting the “sesquiplane” design from the Nieuport fighters, gaining climb and visibility, but weakening the structure. Still, the D.III dominated the skies and was the main killer during “Bloody April.”...
The Nieuport 17 was a nimble fighter, first released in March 1916. Its excellent maneuverability made a big impact. It soon equipped all of the French fighter squadrons, served as a top British fighter for a year, and was even copied by the Germans! The “sesquiplane” design (a “half” lower wing) gave excellent climb and visibility, but was a weakness in...
