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

The AEG G.I was a prototype twin-engined German biplane built by the Allgemeine Elektricitäts-Gesellschaft (AEG) during the First World War for the Imperial German Army's Imperial German Air Service. The first prototype was designated as the K.I. Flight testing showed that it performed well enough to justify a second, more heavily armed, prototype designated as the G.I for testing under combat conditions.
