Sta.sh
Three successful attacks on cross channel shipping. A few attacks on Russian baltic fleet.
Losses were heavy to anti aircraft fire, due to long straight run in to drop.
They were soon pulled as torpedo bombers and became reconnaisance aircraft. Worst part they tended to break up if landed in anything other than calm seas. this was common for most of these large type of floatplanes. British and German alike.
Nice clear picture.
"The Gotha... night raids (over London) continued throughout 1917, almost unscathed, until December when the British began to have success in intercepting the Gothas at night. Anti-aircraft fire was also becoming more effective and increased use of barrage balloons affected the bombers... The last raid of the war was carried out on the night of the 19th-20th of October 1918. This was a combined Gotha/Giant raid, and of the 38 Gothas taking part three were shot down by fighters and a further three were brought down by anti-aircraft fire." (FirstWorldWar.com)
