variants with their own articles=The Gotha LD.1 (for "Land Doppeldecker" - "Land Biplane") and its derivatives were a family of military aircraft produced in Germany just before and during the early part of World War I. Used for training and reconnaissance, they were conventional designs with two-bay unstaggered wings, tailskid landing gear, and two open cockpits in tandem. Made quickly obsolete by the rapid advances in aviation technology, several were supplied as military aid to theOttoman Empire when withdrawn from German service.pecifications (LD.1)
