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the field, paints a picture of a fascinating chapter in German aviation history - illustrated with exciting and mostly unpublished images.

Deutsche Flugzeuge im Ersten Weltkrieg

Dit boek biedt een moderne, volledige beschrijving van de inzet en technische ontwikkeling van de Duitse luchtstrijdkrachten en marinevliegers tijdens de Eerste Wereldoorlog. Het toont hoe de aanvankelijk eenvoudige vliegtuigen en hun bemanningen zich in korte tijd ontwikkelden tot een beslissende militaire macht.

Bij het begin van de oorlog waren slechts 218 toestellen beschikbaar; eind 1918 waren er meer dan 47.000 gebouwd, wat het strategische belang van dit nieuwe wapensysteem onderstreept.
Het werk verenigt uitstekend beeldmateriaal met tijdsdocumenten en geeft een levendig overzicht van een belangrijke periode in de luchtvaartgeschiedenis.

Naval aviation is a highly demanding type of military aviation and is indispensable for countries with a sea coast, including Germany. This is reflected above all in the technical development and the aircraft used then and now.

This volume presents the exciting history of German naval aviation - from the beginnings of aviation to the present day, through the two world wars and the period of German division to the present day.
From biplanes to airships, helicopters, reconnaissance aircraft and fighter bombers - Ulf Kaack covers all naval aviation in thematic depth and completeness.
