AEG B.II
The AEG B.II was a two-seat biplane reconnaissance aircraft produced in small numbers from 1914. It was a slightly smaller version of the B.I and proved more successful. They were used in limited numbers throughout 1914 to 1915, but were quickly replaced, as they were often derided for lack of speed and armament.

gollark: I didn't mean Kindle Fires.
gollark: I wonder whether you could do anything useful with actual Kindles. I have one lying around; they run Linux with really weird configuration in some places.
gollark: I mean, mine does, given that it's a cheap Wileyfox one, but I don't actually have an SD card.
gollark: Sounds like I can't actually be bothered.
