During the First World War, Germany developed massive multi-engine bombers known as Riesenflugzeuge, or R-planes, representing the absolute pinnacle of early heavy strategic aircraft engineering. Written by aeronautical historians G. W. Haddow and Peter M. Grosz, this definitive historical monograph documents the design, construction, and operational deployment of these colossal multi-engine bombers from 1914 through 1919.
The technical narrative details the development histories of giant bombers built by Zeppelin-Staaken, Siemens-Schuckert, Linke-Hofmann, and DFW. Published in London by Putnam, the text is heavily illustrated with hundreds of rare archival photographs, precise scale line drawings, structural schematics, production lists, and performance specification tables. This documented volume serves as an essential reference for military aviation historians, World War I researchers, scale modelers, and readers of early combat aeronautics history.
