No.115, THE GOTHA G.I -G.V
COMING OF THE 'WONG-WONGS'!
In 1917-1918, Gotha twin-engined bombers based in occupied Belgium, made frequent air raids on London and other targets taking over the bomber role from the unwieldly Zeppelins. They proved remarkably effective and several RFC/RAF Front Line squadrons were transferred from the Western Front to combat the marauders. Peter M Grosz has the full story of the Gotha G.I -G.Va bomber series with many archive photos and three pages of colour profiles. Modellers of available Aurora, Hippo and AZ Models Gotha kits will find this an invaluable reference.
WRITTEN by Peter M Grosz, this excellent monograph relates the history of the WWI German twin-engined Gothas, from the odd-looking G.I to the later war G.Va with its biplane box tail unit. Accompanied by over 30 rare archive photos form the author's own extensive collection, this 1996 published Profile-No.115 in the long-running series- includes colour profiles on the inner cover and across the middle pages a five-view of the penultimate G.III 398/16 in all its glory. Detailed narrative, tabular date and informative captions make this the ideal reference for modelers of these enigmatic early bombers.
