Now does that cover the V also? It lists the II, III, IV and then jumps to Vb.

Very limited info on the V If you go here:

http://forum.ww1aircraftmodels.com/index.php?topic=7543.0

I'm actually converting the Wingnut Wings Gotha G.IV to a Gotha G.V - there is a lot of good information being shared so have a look through - (Some of the information is text only rather than pictures) Also the Vintage Aviator and the guys at Wingnut Wings have been sharing information with me about the build.

Windsock Data File Gotha! has a section on the G.V mainly G.V 904/16 'Erika' which is what I am building along with some other aircraft - not a lot and all external shots.

Jack Herris book German G-Type Bombers of WWI has some more information on the Gotha G.V and again his book Gotha Aircraft of WW1 has some more information on it - the rest sadly is going to have to come from artistic licensing and peer review...... pretty much which is going on in my thread for Erika.

Too bad the major powers (France, GB, Italy, USA) just trashed and threw away the examples they had after the war.
Thanks for the source list
