Otto, AGO, and BFW Aircraft of WWI Published

[JackH]

Aeronaut Books is pleased to announce publication of a new book today.

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.

The scale drawings include the 1913 Otto Pusher, 1914 Otto Pusher, Otto C.I, Otto C.II, Ago C.I, Ago C.IV, and BFW N.I. Profiles of all these types are included.

All the best,
Jack

I think you are going to be surprised at the amount of material on these obscure but front-line aircraft that Jack has managed to compile.

Maybe after this even Wingnut Wings or another model manufacturer will produce the AGO C.I, C.II, or Otto C.I pusher aircraft. The C.I definitely saw a lot of action!

Great news for me! I am currently working on the joystick 1/72nd scale AGO CII model and can't wait to get a copy

I am a huge fan of these aircraft, most of all the AGO CI, and I spend a nice week-end starting to read the book and looking at the pictures!
Nice job (again) Jack!
