Introduction |
1914 |
The AEG B.II was a two-seat biplane reconnaissance aircraft produced in small numbers from 1914. It was a slightly smaller version of the B.I and proved more successful. They were used in limited numbers throughout 1914/1915, but wound up quickly replaced, as they were often derided for lack of speed and armament.
