Gotha G.V / UWD

The Gotha G.V was a heavy bomber used by the Luftstreitkräfte (Imperial German Air Service) during World War I. Designed for long-range service and built by Gothaer Waggonfabrik AG, the Gotha G.V was used principally as a night bomber. 

The Gotha UWD - One Navy Number 120 Ursinus-Wasser-Doppeldecker (UWD, Ursinus Water Biplane) floatplane version of the G.I was also built, ordered by the Navy in April 1915 and delivered in February 1916; as per Ursinus' original intentions from two years earlier. During a test flight, six men climbed aboard to take the place of ballast. When they emerged after landing, a nearby naval officer likened the aircraft to the Trojan Horse (Trojanisches Pferd) and this nickname stuck. It was used operationally until 2 October when it was written off after a hard landing at Zeebrugge
