Deutsche Bomber im Ersten Weltkrieg

From 1917 onwards, large aircraft were built in Germany as strategic bombers. These were mostly four-engine biplanes, whose wingspan was already around 50 m in 1918 - and this was only a few years after the start of actual motorised aviation.
Some bombers of the First World War already had a release mechanism with which the bombs attached to the lower wing or fuselage could be released.

Jörg Mückler, a proven expert in the field, paints a picture of a fascinating chapter in German aviation history - illustrated with exciting and mostly unpublished images.

The book combines outstanding photographs with contemporary documents, offering a vivid overview of a defining period in aviation history.
