Weapons of WarThe machinery of warfare. Sponsored by Aviation History magazine.
The planes were modified at the Parc de l'Aviation Militaire Belge at Calais in 1916. The first was flown operationally by Commandant Jaumotte, a well known Belgian aviator of the period.
Okay.... I guess the Nelis or GN Biplane was a bit too hard. Three were modified by Georges Nelis from Farman F 40 bombers. Two got Hispano Suzia 220 hp engines as shown. The third had a 130 hp Clerget rotary. All were crashed by the same pilot whose name is lost to history.
Anyway, here's a new one. It saw some service earlier in the conflict in several unique ways including being one of the first planes to bomb England. It is named after its designer.
Simply referred to as the "AGO Pusher" from what I've found.

-- "in German East Africa (this actually being the sample aircraft provided by Otto for Pfalz, when they started licence manufacture of the Ago). The aircraft was brought to Africa by Bruno Buechner, who had flown it first in German South West Africa(todays Namibia), before transferring to G. East Africa (todays Tansania). Later crashed, rebuild as a seaplane (but maybe never flown as such). The engine was then used to power a railway flat car - a similar installation was used 3 years later by Fl.Abt 204 (B) in Palestine."

That's it. The Otto Type B. The Flugzeugwerke Gustav Otto of Munich built this model while the follow-on C model most are more familiar with was built by the sister company Aerowerke Gustav Otto (AGO) in Johannisthal.
