AEG G.II
The AEG G.II was a biplane bomber built by the Allgemeine Elektricitäts-Gesellschaft (AEG) during the First World War for the Imperial German Army's (Deutsches Heer) Imperial German Air Service (Luftstreitkräfte). It was an improved version of the AEG G.I with more powerful engines. The G.II was typically armed with a pair of 7.92 mm (.312 in) machine guns and 200 kg (440 lb) of bombs. The bomber suffered stability problems, and many G.IIs were fitted with additional rudders to improve flight handling characteristics.
