AEG G.V

The AEG G.V was a biplane bomber built by AEG for the Imperial German Air Service, an enlarged and improved G.IV that first flew in 1918. Work began in November 1917 on an aircraft able to carry a 1,000 kilogram bomb, using extended wings and two 190 kilowatt Mercedes D.IVa inline piston engines. Fifty were ordered and 37 delivered between August and October 1918, but it never entered operational service. Six were sold to the Swedish Air Force after the war, and at least one became a six-passenger airliner, the G5, for Deutsche Luft-Reederei.
