MvR's Apple Barge
I've searched the old threads and I can't find the answer so I thought I'd just ask...
Does anyone know what the 'Apple Barge' that MvR often flew early in his career in 'Red Battle Flyer' is? MvR refers to it as a two seat, twin engined machine in which the observer was close enough to the props for the baron to nick is finger. Thanks Spoon |

Hi There Totalspoon,
It was an AEG G.II; very likely G.II G6/15. You need to get a copy of James F. Miller's SUPERB new book on MvR, Air Power Editions No. 3, Manfred von Richthofen - The Aircraft, Myths and Accomplishments of the Red Baron. It has a photo of the very G.II G6/15 flown by Zeumer and MvR, marked with Zeumer's 'black cat'; insignia. The same photo, and a color profile, appears in Ed Ferko's marvelous book Richthofen. Also recommended!!
