AEG G.IVk


The G.IVk was a G.IV fitted with armour plate as well as one or two 2cm Becker cannons. The rear Becker could be installed to fire through the floor. Five G.IVks were built with four of them being turned over to the allies postwar. At least three finish styles can be seen in the extant photos, and besides the two seen below the third style was large handpainted hexes.
