The AEG G.IV series of medium bombers was a German Air Force stalwart from 1916 through 1918. By Staff Writer
The AEG G.IV was another successful product of the Allgemeine Elektritzitats Gesellschaft aircraft corporation and was an amalgam of what made the G.I, G.II and G.III successful aircraft in their own right. The system was produced in 1915 and entered frontline service with air units by 1916, seeing action through the end of the war in 1918.
The twin-engine, three-man aircraft was of a biplane design. Up to 882lbs of external ordnance was allowed on the aircraft and this was further complimented with two defensive machine gun positions at fore and aft of the pilots mid-position.
The G.IV served well for the German air force in an offensive capacity but was limited by the short range offered by the system. Nevertheless, the units equipped with the G.IV fought against the Italians on the Southern Fronts to good effect and would even be called upon to complete night bombing missions as well.
