Gotha is the aircraft and rolling stock make of Gothaer Waggonfabrik, the German firm established at Gotha in the late nineteenth century to build railway wagons, which later added trams and, during both world wars, aircraft. Under the Gotha name the firm built the twin-engined pusher biplane bombers of the First World War, from the Ursinus-based G.I to the G.V, the first heavier-than-air craft used for strategic bombing of England. In the Second World War it produced the Go 145 trainer, the Go 242 transport glider and its powered Go 244 development, and it was chosen to mass-produce the Horten Ho 229 flying wing fighter, which never entered service. Between 1921 and 1928 the same company also made cars through its Dixi and Cyklon businesses.
