Gotha G.IV

Pioneer and Early Aviation Aircraft

The Gotha G.IV is a German twin engine biplane bomber introduced in 1917 and used for long range strategic bombing raids against England, including daylight attacks on London. It was among the first aircraft to carry out a sustained bombing campaign against a civilian population from the air, a role that previously only airships had attempted.
