    Although a German bomber, this cannot be qualified as a 'giant' bombers produced in Germany during WW1. The picture shows an A.E.G. G.IV twin-engined bomber.

    The AEG G.IV was numbered G 588/17 and is seen in Amiens, soon after it was brought down on May 16th 1918. See Windsock Datafile 51 for more photos of this particular aircraft. Other AEG G.IV

    This must have been very precious to him, it has been repaired instead of discarded when it ripped.
  • Buttons McTavish said:
    It's a sad thought that this was a trophy... a touching thought that he had it in his hand to the last...
  • Precious Cap said:
    This was probably a remembrance sent to the soldier by his wife, sweetheart or mother from back home. Such things magnify the atrocity of war.
