Developed in 1910 by Igor Etrich, the German Taube (dove) was built in large numbers by various manufacturers. It derived its name from the unique structure and shape of its wings. A slow, unarmed, two-seater monoplane, it entered service in the first year of the war and was used for observation and reconnaissance until 1916. |
