Open in interactive gallery →See aircraft like this on the live radar →

The AEG G.V was a biplane bomber aircraft of World War I built by the Allgemeine Elektricitäts-Gesellschaft (AEG) during the First World War for the Imperial German Army's Imperial German Air Service. It made its first flight in 1918 and was an enlarged and improved version of the G.IV. The type saw limited production before the Armistice in November, and never entered operational service. Six G.Vs were sold to the Swedish Air Force after the war. At least one aircraft was converted into a six-passenger airliner for Deutsche Luft-Reederei after the war as the G5.
