Old History and past notes/revisions:



Gotha Ursinus Wasserdoppeldecker Floatplane by Mace • Version 1.0 - 23 May 04

The twin engine Gotha Ursinus Wasserdoppeldecker (UWD for short) was a 
naval reconnaissance and bomber floatplane derived from the original G.I 
medium bomber designed by Oskar Ursinus. 

These twin float maritime biplanes were built by the Gothaer Waggonfabrik 
(as the name implies, they were a pre war manufacturer of railway rolling 
stock) and were accepted by the German Navy in February 1916.  The UWD's 
were powered by two 160 horse power Mercedes D.III engines and had an 
endurance of 4 hours.  In the down load there are eight training missions 
for the Dover terrain and a floatplane base. 

Thanks to ArgonV, Wakeup tailgunner and Aladar for their superb original
Gotha G.I.
