Otto, AGO, and BFW Aircraft of WWI: A Centennial Perspective on Great War Airplanes (Great War Aviation Centennial Series);

Otto, Ago, and BFW Aircraft of WWI tells and illustrates the story of these interrelated companies and development of their aircraft. The Otto Pusher, Ago Pusher, Otto C.I, and the Ago C.I were the only single-engine pusher aircraft used by the German Army during the war, the Prussian Air Service having a strong preference for the tractor configuration. The Ago C.I was used in far greater numbers than the other types and was the type most familiar to the Allied airmen. This book illustrates the development and use of these types plus the later, tractor types in 382 photos, 23 in color, and 32 color profiles. In addition, scale drawings of 7 of the most important types are included in the book’s 244 pages.
