This book, the lirst to be published in English presenting a complete historical record of every type of military aircraft produced in Germany between 1914 and 1918, would not have been possible without the cooperation and assistance of many enthusiasts whose help is gratefully acknowledged.
The greater part of the main text has been vetted by that painstaking historian Herr Egon Krueger who also provided so much of the additional material in this revised edition. For any mistakes that may remain the authors accept full responsibility. Much of the data in the appendices has been compiled from the files of Egon Krueger and Pclcr M. Grosz, both of whom contributed many photographs and offered every cooperation. A considerable debt of gratitude is owed also to the late A. R. Weyl, A.R.Ae.S. who, before his death, made material available from his private collection. The three-view general arrangement drawings are the work of Mr. L. E. Bradford, who has maintained his customary high standards. Others who have assisted by the loan of photographs, by providing translations or in other ways, include: Peter M. Bowers, R. Brown, J. M. Bruce, G. Л. Cull, J. L. Golding of the Imperial War Museum, Mrs. B. Gray, G. Maddow, W. A. Lambcrton, W. R. Puglisi, L. A. Rogers, K. Taylor and Pavel Vancura. The authors' thanks are also due to R. G. Moulton, Editor of Aeromodellcr magazine, for permission 10 use material previously published in its pages.
