I nderstand the AEG G4 and the Fredrichshafen G III were superior to the Gothas.
I agree with you. I would have preferred to fly the AEGs, they have better design but i dont know that much about the early bombers:
>>AEG G4<<

Combat Warplanes / Lockheed F-104 "Starfighter"
« on: February 01, 2008, 01:33:10 PM »
Husband of my Dad's cousin worked at Messerschmitt and Heinkel where Starfighter was license produced since the 1960s. Starfighter was also called Widow Maker here because 292 of 916 of Bundeswehr Starfighters crashed or had accidents

The J-79 engines were produced by BMW, Fabrique National (Belgium), Fiat/Alfa Romeo. Later at MTU a joint company out of BMW and MAN which produced an improved version J - 79 - MTU - 1K and 1000 replacement motors designated J - 79 - 11 A.

In this movie they say at times only 10% of a squadrons F-104 were ready because of lack of trained maintenance personnel, also you can see how hard it was to land this machine, pilot makes touch-and-go:

Maybe our friends from Holland/Belgium and Italy here can tell something about license production in their countries. Would be interesting.
